Joni Ernst on Reintroducing Sarah’s Law: ‘The Loss of Mollie Tibbetts Has Hurt Many Iowans’

EXCERPT:

ERNST: "And we introduced Sarah’s Law with a number of co-sponsors in the 114th Congress. We have reintroduced it again in this Congress, but still no traction there. And what Sarah’s Law would require ICE to do is detain those illegal immigrants if they have harmed or maimed or killed American citizens. And it would also require then ICE to make sure they are updating the family as to the status of the case. It seems so simple and straightforward and, yet, we haven’t received the traction. The loss of Mollie Tibbetts has hurt many Iowans so very deeply and it captivated the imagination and concerns of an entire United States. And to have it end like this is very, very disheartening."
