More than 20 countries across the globe are reluctant to take back citizens who have been convicted of crimes in the United States. In an effort to remove more criminals from this country, lawmakers from Connecticut and Texas have introduced legislation that would hold other countries accountable for refusing to take back violent criminals who have been convicted in the United States or are a public safety threat.
The bill is named “Casey’s Law” after Norwich, Connecticut, resident Casey Chadwick, who was killed by a Haitian man that Immigration and Customs Enforcement failed to deport after he was released from prison last year. The legislation was introduced by U.S. Sens. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., Chris Murphy, D-Conn., and John Cornyn, R-Texas.
