Relevant factsFree
Bahraini detainees at Guantanamo (plaintiffs) sought a preliminary injunction requiring 30 days' notice before any transfer, citing news reports of planned mass transfers and unnamed officials' alleged threats of abuse; the government (defendant) countered with sworn declarations from senior officials describing a vetting process to avoid transfers risking torture or mistreatment, and noting all prior transfers had gone to detainees' home countries.
IssueFree
Whether a party seeking injunctive relief must prove that a threatened injury is not merely remote and speculative.
