WASHINGTON, D.C.– Representatives Lynn Jenkins (KS-02) and Mike Pompeo (KS-04) will be holding a special town hall meeting at the Leavenworth Heritage Center on Friday, December 11th, at 9am CT to discuss the President’s plan to transfer Guantanamo Bay detainees to a mainland United States site which could include Leavenworth, Kansas.

“The President’s proposed plan to close the Guantanamo Bay detention center and possibly move extremely dangerous terrorists to the United States Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth is a major concern for Kansans,” said Representatives Jenkins and Pompeo. “This town hall will give Kansans the opportunity to gather under one roof and voice their opinions regarding the President’s plan. It is important that we come together and give everyone who has a stake in the situation a chance to share their concerns.”
