Detainees and their lawyers had continued litigating after earlier attempts to restrict court access. The ruling protected a means of contesting confinement before a judge; it neither closed the prison nor ordered every detainee’s release.

Which right did Boumediene v. Bush recognize for Guantánamo detainees?

Uitleg
Boumediene recognized a constitutional route to contest detention before a judge and found the substitute process inadequate. It did not automatically free every prisoner.
