Ahead of the fifth anniversary of the senseless death of Sarah Root, Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) reintroduced S. 80, “Sarah’s Law,†which requires federal law enforcement to detain illegal aliens criminally charged with killing or seriously injuring another person. The reintroduction of Sarah’s Law comes as President Biden rescinded former President Trump’s executive order prioritizing the prosecution of illegal aliens convicted of violent crimes.
In an article describing Sarah’s Law, Senator Ernst wrote that:
Sarah’s Law is about as commonsense a reform as there is. It recognizes the simple fact that all criminals should be held accountable for their actions and not allowed to slip back into the shadows. If Sarah’s Law is passed, men and women who are in this country illegally and murder another person would be prioritized for deportation if released. Who could oppose something like this?
