Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

This bill expresses the sense of Congress that Joanne Chesimard (also known as Assata Shakur), a convicted felon serving a life sentence who escaped to Cuba in 1979, should be extradited or returned to the United States to face justice. The bill directs the Secretary of State and Attorney General to use diplomatic tools to secure her extradition and requires the State Department to submit annual reports on efforts to extradite Chesimard and other U.S. fugitives in Cuba, with reporting requirements ending once Cuba demonstrates it is actively fulfilling its extradition treaty obligations.
