Will the Guantanamo detention camp ever close?

The World

There was bipartisan criticism of the Biden administration at a Senate hearing this week over the fate of the Guantanamo Bay detention center. The camp has been open for nearly two decades and several US presidents have vowed to close it, but it still remains open with some 39 prisoners still behind bars. Marco Werman speaks with Carol Rosenberg, a journalist with The New York Times who has been covering the US naval base at Guantanamo Bay since the first prisoners were brought there from Afghanistan in January 2002.
