Feenstra Thanks Trump administration for Extraditing Illegal Immigrant who Killed Sarah Root Back to United States

March 21, 2025

HULL, IOWA – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) issued the following statement thanking the Trump administration after U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the illegal immigrant who killed 21-year-old Iowan, Sarah Root, in 2016 is being extradited back to the United States to face justice:

“I thank President Trump and Secretary Rubio for extraditing the illegal immigrant who killed Sarah Root nearly a decade ago back to the United States. This is a day that the Root family has long waited for, and now, this vicious criminal will face the consequences of his actions. With President Trump’s signature of Sarah’s Law earlier this year, illegal immigrants who harm or kill Americans will be detained without bail and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law — as they should be. Evading accountability is no longer an option.”
