![Bush issued a military order allowing the indefinite detention of foreign nationals without charge and preventing them from legally challenging their detention The U.S.Department of Justice claimed that habeas corpus -a legal recourse against unlawful detention--did not apply to Guantanamo because it was outside U.S. territory. In January 2002, a temporary detention facility dubbed "Camp X-Ray" was created to house suspected Al-Qaeda members and Taliban fighters. 121 By May 2003, the Guantanamo Bay detention camp had grown into a larger and permanent facility that housed over 680 prisoners, most without, formal charges.[32[4] The Bush administration maintained it was not obliged to grant prisoners protections under the U.S.Constitution or the Geneva Conventions, since the former did not extend to foreign soil and the latter did not apply to "unlawful enemy combatants". Humanitarian and legal advocacy groups claimed these policies were unconstitutional and violated international human rights law;[51[6] several landmark U.S. Supreme Court decisions found that detainees had rights to due process and habeas corpus but were still subject to military tribunals, which remain controversial for allegedly lacking impartiality, independence, and judicial efficiency.!78]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dozrbbuzuojdwr2psqkapfxo/bafkreie7rpkcoefjkm6lahmmwh52qj3efccoex7sd23fp27gejjwic6lyu)
