US citizens are not detained at GITMO. Maxwell was born in France, but claims multiple citizenships in France, England, and the USA. I don't know if an adopted citizenship exempts her from detention at GITMO. The lawsuits against her are filed in SDNY, so I believe she is still in Brooklyn detention.
The sole purpose of GITMO is to detain the most dangerous foreign terrorists and enemy combatants in an offshore detention facility so they are not protected by the US Constitution, bill of rights, and Habeas Corpus. US citizens have these protections as a birthright. If foreign enemy combatants were detained and tried here, they would have these protections and guarantees also.
Over the years, several US citizens have been detained at GITMO briefly (one or two days) but info is sketchy but they appear to have been in transit.
Either way, the specific purpose of GITMO was to detain extremely dangerous foreign nationals without affording them OUR rights. To detain and try US citizens there would be hotly contested by any defense lawyer.
She would be if she is a high priority asset that needs the utmost security at a time when US military is being used to bring down all kinds of trafficking rings and has been for several years.
