During his State of the Union speech, President Donald Trump highlighted that he kept his promise to keep open the prison at Guantanamo Bay.

Trump appeared to suggest that more prisoners could be sent to the prison in the future.

"I am asking Congress to ensure that in the fight against ISIS and al-Qa'ida, we continue to have all the necessary power to detain terrorists -- wherever we chase them down, wherever we find them, and in many cases for them it will now be Guantanamo Bay," he said.

The day of the speech, Trump signed an executive order that states that within 90 days, the heads of federal agencies and departments will recommend policies to Trump "regarding the disposition of individuals captured in connection with an armed conflict, including policies governing transfer of individuals" to Gitmo.

The total number of detainees is now 41. The Miami Herald reported that review panels have cleared five for release to countries through agreements negotiated by the United States, but the State Department has shut down its office that handles those negotiations.

Trump's order leaves open the possibility that additional detainees could be released, stating "nothing in this order shall prevent the Secretary of Defense from transferring any individual" away from the prison.

We gave Trump a Promise Kept in 2017 when he sought additional funding for the prison. His executive order solidifies that goal and keeps it at Promise Kept.
