在另一件有14位不同国籍的外国公民提起的诉讼中，高院同样驳回了政府的申辩。 美国政府争辩说由于美国关塔纳摩海军基地名义上是在古巴的主权管辖内，所以美国法院无权受理被拘押者提起的诉讼-这些人无权决定美国军方将他们关押在哪里。
And in a case brought by fourteen foreign nationals, the court cast aside the government's argument that because the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay is nominally under Cuban sovereignty, American courts lack jurisdiction to entertain legal claims brought by persons who had no say in where the U.S. military chose to detain them.
