To prohibit the transfer or release of individuals detained at United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to the United States.

HR 143 prohibits using federal funds to transfer or release certain detainees held at Guantanamo Bay to the United States. It specifically blocks funding for moving non-U.S. citizen detainees (not members of the U.S. military) who were held at Guantanamo Bay after January 20, 2009, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. The bill directly affects these specific detainees by preventing their relocation to U.S. territory or possessions. It does not create new policy but restricts the use of existing defense funding for such transfers. This is a procedural bill focused on blocking a specific action via budget restrictions.
