Scott to Travel to Guantanamo Bay Detention Facility

Press Release

U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) today announced that he will travel to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to visit detention facility in the coming days as part of a congressional delegation. The delegation, which will include Senators Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) and Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), will review detention operations at Guantanamo as well as meet with American troops serving at the facility. As part of the visit, Senator Scott will specifically look at the differences between the medium security brig in Charleston that the Obama Administration recently surveyed versus the state of the art facility that the American government has constructed in Cuba.

"I am visiting the Guantanamo Bay detention facility in the coming days to personally to better understand operations at the facility as well as meet with our brave men and women in uniform who are stationed there. During my visit, I want to see firsthand how this facility helps keep our homeland safe, inspect quarters and see where the military commissions are held," said Senator Tim Scott.
