“I rise today to honor Sarah Root and express the relief of our community that justice has been delivered to her killer. In 2016, 21-year-old Sarah Root was driving home from her graduation when an illegal immigrant, who was drunk, driving at three times the legal limit, struck and killed her. Her killer posted bail and vanished from the country, leaving Sarah's family without answers for nearly 10 years. Sarah should be 31 today. In her memory, I fought to pass Sarah's Law, included in the first bill signed by President Trump. Her bill is now law, and on February 3, justice finally came for her killer. He was extradited, convicted, and sentenced to more than 20 years in prison. As a father of two girls, I cannot fathom the pain Michelle and Scott have endured the past 10 years. Sarah's Law is a promise to them and every American family that we will not ignore these tragedies, and we will act to prevent them.”
