Yes, but it could not be implemented. President Obama signed an order to close the Guantanamo prison due to alleged abuses and use of torture. Unfortunately, congress refused to go along with it, and the prisoners remained there. Guantanamo has been very contentious ever since President Bush began sending people there, and many civil libertarians believe it is cruel and unusual punishment to hold people there indefinitely, without charges and without a trial. President Obama has repeatedly said he wants it closed, but he has not been able to persuade congress to to work with him and make it happen.
