Guantanamo Bay is a U.S. naval base and detention facility located in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The facility has been in use since the early 20th century, but gained international attention in the early 21st century as a detention center for individuals suspected of terrorism.

The base was first established in 1898, during the Spanish-American War, and has been continuously operated by the U.S. military since then. In 2002, the U.S. government began using the facility as a detention center for individuals captured in the War on Terror, primarily those captured in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The detention of individuals at Guantanamo Bay was controversial from the beginning, with critics arguing that the prisoners were being held indefinitely without trial and subjected to inhumane treatment. The U.S. government argued that the detainees were enemy combatants and not subject to the same legal protections as prisoners of war.

Over the years, various legal challenges have been brought against the detention of individuals at Guantanamo Bay, with some court rulings finding that the detention was illegal and others upholding it. The Obama administration attempted to close the detention facility, but was unable to do so due to opposition from Congress.

As of 2022, the facility is still in operation, but the number of detainees has significantly reduced. The detention of individuals at Guantanamo Bay continues to be a contentious issue and the U.S. government's policy on the detention and treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay continues to be a topic of ongoing debate and criticism.
