Representative Omar Calls For the Closure of Guantanamo Bay
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) penned an op-ed piece published in Teen Vogue Tuesday calling for the Guantánamo Bay detention facility to be shut down 20 years to the day of its opening.
The Minnesota representative wrote that she would rather not refer to Jan. 11 as an “anniversary” as it implied a celebration.
“Today is a day to reflect, and to act,” wrote Omar.
