Description

The Constitution protects the basic civil rights and freedoms of United States citizens against governmental abuse. (1) The rights of aliens--particularly detainee aliens not held on U.S. soil--are more limited. (2) In Rasul v. Myers, (3) the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit considered whether former detainees at the United States Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (Guantanamo) could assert civil, conventional, and constitutional rights against their military captors for illegal detention and torture. (4) The court dismissed the detainee plaintiffs' claims after finding the detainees had not exhausted their administrative remedies and that such protections did not extend to non-resident aliens. (5) In late 2001, the four plaintiffs traveled as civilians through Pakistan and Afghanistan on alleged humanitarian and religious missions. (6) Militiamen captured the four men and transferred them to the U.S. government. (7) In early 2002, the United States moved the detainees to Guantanamo, where they remained until their repatriation to the United Kingdom in 2004. (8)
