The House passed a resolution calling upon Congress to repeal sections of the National Defense Authorization Act which sanction the indefinite detention without charge or trial of anyone in the United States. The resolution reaffirms Rhode Island’s commitment to the fundamental principles of the Fifth and Sixth Amendments to the Constitution, and sends a signal to our national lawmakers that such policies are unacceptable. A companion resolution was introduced in the Senate, but never heard in committee.
