WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator George LeMieux (R-FL) today made the following statement regarding President Obama’s decision to move detainees from Guantanamo Bay to an Illinois state prison.

LeMieux said:

“The President’s decision to move dozens of terror suspects from the Guantanamo Bay detention facility to an Illinois jail is another mistaken step in this Administration’s stubborn insistence to turn the global war on terror into a law enforcement effort. The detention facility at GITMO is uniquely suited to hold and try these terror suspects and today’s decision makes Americans less safe.â€
