'Congress Needs to Act': Iowa Sen. Ernst Calls for Passage of Sarah's Law After Mollie Tibbetts' Murder
Says the proposed law is 'simple and straightforward.'
< >
Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) said Wednesday on Outnumbered Overtime that Sarah's Law has been reintroduced to Congress after the murder of Iowa college student Mollie Tibbetts.
The proposed law would require an illegal immigrant charged with a crime that resulted in someone's death to be detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
It was named after another Iowan, Sarah Root, who was killed in a crash involving a car driven by an illegal immigrant in 2016.
"It seems so simple and straightforward, yet we haven't received the traction," Ernst said.
