inmates: In a news conference Monday ahead of his final overseas trip as president, Obama said he still would prefer to have Guantanamo inmates transferred to a facility under U.S. jurisdiction, saying, wed do it a lot cheaper, according to Brandon Sun. And just as safely. President Barack Obama says that he been unable to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, because of congressional restrictions. He hailed efforts to bring down the number of inmates, but with regard to transferring those inmates, he said, Congress disagrees with me, and I gather the president-elect does as well. President Barack Obama says he will encourage his successor to allow immigrants who came to the country as children to remain in the U.S. Those immigrants, known as DREAMers, were granted legal status under a 2012 executive order. President-elect Donald Trump has said it would be fine to try Americans suspected of terrorism at Guantanamo Bay, if possible, and has raised concern about decreasing the number of inmates. 5 00 p.m. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
