Supreme Court denies appeal for alleged September 11 planners

The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to review a 2024 decision by then-Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to revoke plea deals for individuals accused of planning the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. This decision upholds an appellate court's ruling, which affirmed the defense secretary's authority to cancel the plea agreements that had removed the death penalty for the suspected planners held at Guantanamo Bay.
