Act Now to Restore Due Process

Urge Your Senators to Fix the Military Commissions Act

Just before the last election, Congress passed the Military Commissions Act, which gives the President the power to decide by himself who is and who is not an enemy of our country, and to eliminate habeas corpus and due process rights for detainees. As a result, people lost the Constitution’s protections against being imprisoned unlawfully.

The Military Commissions Act takes away the fundamental due process right of habeas corpus, which is protected by the Constitution. Without the habeas corpus protection against unlawful imprisonment, people are being held for years without ever being charged.

Take action below to restore habeas corpus protections and due process for detainees in federal custody at Guantanamo and around the world.
