                   CAPTURED BY THE UNITED STATES FOR SUPPORTING

       It is the sense of the Senate that--

     declared war on the United States;
       (2) the United States Armed Forces are currently engaged in 
     combat operations against ISIL;
       (3) in conducting combat operations against ISIL, the 
     United States has captured and detained individuals 
     associated with ISIL and will likely capture and hold 
     additional ISIL detainees;
       (4) following the horrific terrorist attacks on September 
     11, 2001, the United States determined that it would detain 
     at United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, 
     individuals who had engaged in, aided, or abetted, or 
     conspired to commit, acts of international terrorism, or acts 
     in preparation therefor, that have caused, threaten to cause, 
     or have as their aim to cause, injury to or adverse effects 
     on the United States, its citizens, national security, 
     foreign policy, or economy;
       (5) members of ISIL captured by the United States during 
     combat operations against ISIL meet such criteria for 
     continued detention at United States Naval Station, 
     Guantanamo Bay; and
       (6) all individuals captured by the United States during 
     combat operations against ISIL that meet such criteria by 
     their affiliation with ISIL must be detained outside the 
     United States and its territories and should be transferred 
     to United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay.
