In 2010, the Obama administration and Durbin floated the idea of moving some Guantanamo prisoners to the Illinois facility, but the proposal was opposed by Congressional Republicans as well as civil liberties and human rights groups, and the House later voted overwhelmingly to prevent the transfer of any Gitmo prisoner to the U.S.
Republicans blasted the news on Tuesday.
Wolf, whose committee funds the DOJ, had led the charge to deny the use of funds for the sale, partly by classifying them as an earmark.
“Today’s actions are just the latest in series of disconcerting moves by this Justice Department, including its handling of the Fast and Furious Operation, allowing nepotism in hiring, its questionable dismissal of voting rights cases and the politicization of decisions that benefit special interest groups,” Wolf said in a statement. “This may be the most disreputable Justice Department in modern history.”
“This back-door move by the Obama Administration to open Thomson and reject the will of Congress and the American people is dangerously irresponsible, and will be met with the full and unfettered opposition of the Appropriations Committee,” Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers (R-Ky.) said in a statement.

Boy dictator ends runs around Congress yet again. In addition to his ignoring Federal court rulings and using executive orders illegally. he gives CongresS yet again the middle finger. Then pretends that its not for Gitmo detainees, let him get a second tErm and those scum will be moved there. He is so arroGant that his being refused will be ignored and he'll do as he damn well pleases. -Tyr
