Does 1-570 v. Bush, No. 1:05-cv-00313, is a combined writ of habeas corpus submitted on behalf of detainees held in extrajudicial detention in the United States Guantanamo Bay detention camps, in Cuba. [1]
Following the attacks of September 11th, 2001, the United States began an offensive known as the War on Terror. A number of individuals suspected of terrorist ties or activities were held in Cuba at the Guantanamo Bay detention camps.
Several hundred of the detainees in Guantanamo had individual habeas corpus petitions filed on their behalf. When the lawyers working on the captives' behalf encountered difficulties with the Department of Defense over the captives' names, [2] they filed this class action on behalf of all the detainees.

Boumediene v. Bush, 553 U.S. 723 (2008), was a writ of habeas corpus petition made in a civilian court of the United States on behalf of Lakhdar Boumediene, a naturalized citizen of Bosnia and Herzegovina, held in military detention by the United States at the Guantanamo Bay detention camps in Cuba. Guantánamo Bay is not formally part of the United States, and under the terms of the 1903 lease between the United States and Cuba, Cuba retained ultimate sovereignty over the territory, while the United States exercises complete jurisdiction and control. The case was consolidated with habeas petition Al Odah v. United States. It challenged the legality of Boumediene's detention at the United States Naval Station military base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba as well as the constitutionality of the Military Commissions Act of 2006.

In United States law, habeas corpus is a recourse challenging the reasons or conditions of a person's detention under color of law. The Guantanamo Bay detention camp is a United States military prison located within Guantanamo Bay Naval Base. A persistent standard of indefinite detention without trial and incidents of torture led the operations of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp to be challenged internationally as an affront to international human rights, and challenged domestically as a violation of the Due Process Clause of the Fifth and Fourteenth amendments of the United States Constitution, including the right of petition for habeas corpus. On 19 February 2002, Guantanamo detainees petitioned in federal court for a writ of habeas corpus to review the legality of their detention.
