GUANTÁNAMO BAY, Cuba — Cheryl Bormann, a lawyer for one of the men accused of plotting the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, had made it through the two security checks necessary to enter the maximum- security courtroom when the hem on her black abaya began unrav- eling. “Wardrobe problem,” she called out in the court vestibule. “Duct tape!” Ms. Bormann, a civilian who has devoted her career to death penalty cases, had recently pur- chased the $50 Saudi-style robe at a shop near the Pentagon but had not had time to hem it properly. The staples she had used as a stopgap solution were coming out. Once the robe was fixed, she pulled it shut, covered her straw- berry blond hair and stepped in- side the military courtroom at Guantánamo Bay where eight other women, mostly defense team lawyers and paralegals, were also hiding their hair in def- erence to their clients — the five men accused of plotting the worst terrorist attack in United States history. The choice of the women to do so demonstrates how, even after more than a decade of war court proceedings at the isolated United States naval base, the culture clash is still raw. Courtrooms are always stages, and even though few people see the hearings un- fold, it is still a setting for an especially difficult mix of ideas and perspectives. The lawyers say they need to respect the religious sensi- bilities of their clients in order to defend them. Families of the 9/11 victims say they are offended by Western women covering themselves and embracing the cultural norms of men accused of mass murder. To spend time at the military court as it moves toward the trial of the accused 9/11 conspirators — a proceeding years in the making — is to see those conflicts and oth- ers in a variety of ways, including through the clothes they wear and the messages they send.

The effort comes amid growing congressional frustration with Mr. Trump’s unwillingness to chal- lenge China over human rights abuses, despite vivid news re- ports this year outlining atroci- ties, or to confront such issues globally. To press Mr. Trump into action on China, lawmakers plan to move ahead with legislation that would punish Beijing for its repression of ethnic Uighur Muslims, with enough supporters to compel the president to sign or risk being overruled by Congress ahead of the 2020 election. A version of the legislation, known as the Uighur Human Rights Policy Act, passed both the House and Senate this year, but its path to the White House was stalled this month by a procedural process. Human rights causes draw rare bipartisan support in Congress, and many Republican lawmakers have broken from Mr. Trump on the matter, even as they move in lock step with the president on nearly every other issue, includ- ing defending him against im- peachment. “There’s been a sense by some that the administration hasn’t pri- CONGRESS UNITING TO COMPEL TRUMP ON HUMAN RIGHTS VETO-PROOF LEGISLATION Aiming to Punish China and Others for Abuse as President Balks By EDWARD WONG and CATIE EDMONDSON Continued on Page A10 CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. — In the late 1990s, the town of Camp- bellsville in central Kentucky suf- fered a powerful jolt when its Fruit of the Loom textile plant closed. Thousands of jobs making under- wear went to Central America, taking the community’s pride with them. Unemployment hit 28 percent before an unlikely savior arrived as the century was ending: a madly ambitious start-up that let people buy books, movies and mu- sic through their computers. Amazon leased a Fruit of the Loom warehouse about a mile from the factory and converted it into a fulfillment center to speed its packages to Indianapolis and Nashville and Columbus. Its workers, many of them Fruit vet- erans, earned less than what the textile work had paid but the dig- ital excitement was overwhelm- ing. Twenty years later, Amazon is one of the world’s most highly val- ued companies and one of the most influential. Jeff Bezos, Ama- zon’s founder, has accumulated a vast fortune. In Seattle, Amazon built a $4 billion urban campus, re- defining a swath of the city. The outcome has been different in Campbellsville, the only sizable community in Taylor County. The county population has stalled at 25,000. Median household income has barely kept pace with infla- tion. Nearly one in five people in the county lives in poverty, more than in 2000. The divergent fates offer a win- dow into what towns can give to tech behemoths over decades — and what exactly they get in re- turn. Campbellsville’s warehouse was among the first of what are now an estimated 477 Amazon ful- fillment centers, delivery stations and other outposts around the country. That makes Camp- bellsville, with 11,415 inhabitants, a case study for what may happen elsewhere as Amazon continues expanding. Brenda Allen, Campbellsville’s mayor, said: “Amazon has had a really good business here for 20 years. They haven’t been disap- pointed at all. And we’re glad they’re here.” But, she added, “I really would feel better if they would contribute to our needs.” In central Kentucky, Amazon has reaped benefits, including a type of tax break that critics label “Paying Taxes to the Boss.” In the arrangement, 5 percent of Ama- zon workers’ paychecks, which would ordinarily be destined for the county and the state, go to Am- azon itself. The company netted millions of dollars from this incen- tive over a decade. While that tax break has run out, Campbellsville itself still gets no tax money from Amazon. The warehouse is just outside the town limits. The city school system, which is its own taxing authority, does get revenue from Amazon.
