DiFi floats bill to bar citizens’ indefinite detention

December 15, 2011
Rep. John Garamendi, D-Walnut Grove, and Rep. Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., today introduced the House companion bill, H.R. 3702. "Every American deserves their day in court, and this legislation changes existing law to protect our due process rights," Garamendi said in his news release. "We cannot allow our basic rights to be lost, and there is no legitimate national security reason to deny any citizen in America a trial. We can both keep America safe and maintain our liberties."
