Join the National Security and Civil Rights Program on October 8, 2026, at 12:00 P.M. in CLC 1403 for a candid discussion with the author of Leaving Guantanamo: How One Country Brought its Men Home from the Forever Prison. Eric L. Lewis has represented Guantanamo detainees for more than twenty years—fighting to gain access to courts and navigating the politics and diplomacy of the "Global War on Terror." He conducted hearings that gained the release of the last two Kuwaiti "forever prisoners." In addition to discussing challenges surrounding his representation of Guantanamo detainees, Lewis's book analyzes how Guantanamo has changed American law and culture, and how its legacy continues today. Attendance is open to the entire university community. Contact Professor John Dehn (jdehn@luc.edu) with any questions.
