The order reverses former president Obama's directive aimed at shuttering the camp that Obama called a symbol of American human rights abuses during wartime.

While Trump said the move fulfills a campaign promise, Trump in his first year chose to deal with terror suspects much like the Obama administration: prosecuting them in civilian courts.
