Supreme Court Declines Appeal from Ex-Guantanamo Detainee Omar Khadr

Khadr sought to overturn his war crimes convictions, arguing his plea deal was invalidated by a subsequent legal ruling.

The U.S. Supreme Court rejected Omar Khadr's appeal to vacate his war crimes convictions.
Khadr, a Canadian, was detained at Guantanamo Bay for actions committed at age 15, including killing a U.S. soldier.
He pleaded guilty in 2010 but later argued that a 2012 ruling should nullify his convictions.
The Supreme Court's decision focused on Khadr's waiver of his right to appellate review in his plea agreement.
Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Ketanji Brown Jackson recused themselves from the case.
