9/11 Terrorist REQUESTS Extradition to France
Republicans are refusing to let the lone person found guilty of the 9/11 terrorist attacks complete the remaining years of his life sentence in France.
“Under no circumstances should this terrorist be granted the privilege of returning to his homeland,” the letter sent to President Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland was spearheaded by Senators Marco Rubio and Rick Scott of Florida.
“No consideration whatsoever should be given to this convicted terrorist’s preferences for where to serve his sentence for his heinous crimes, and we demand that you swiftly deny his transfer request and force him to spend the remainder of his pathetic life imprisoned in the country he and his fellow terrorists attacked 23 years ago,” said the Thursday letter signed by a dozen GOP senators.
56-year-old Zacarias Moussaoui is serving his term at the Administrative Maximum Facility in Florence, Colorado. He has requested to be transferred to France by a federal judge, citing concerns that he may be put to death if former President Donald Trump is elected in November.
The senators stated in their letter that although nothing can bring back the nearly 3,000 people who died on September 11, 2001, the victims’ surviving relatives should be able to anticipate that Moussaoui will be imprisoned in an American prison for the duration of his life sentence without the possibility of release or transfer.
Islamist terrorists assaulted our country on September 11, 2001. A terrorist who is taking part in the operation has asked to be allowed to return to France by the Justice Department.
His desire to be released from Supermax, a maximum-security prison, has gone unanswered by her.
William Jacobson, a professor at Cornell Law School and the director of the Legal Insurrection Foundation, argued that Moussaoui is not in danger of being put to death by presidential executive order.
Asked if the president may order a prisoner put to death, Mr. Jacobson said, “No, of course not, but apparently he doesn’t know that!”
Sens. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Mike Braun of Indiana, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Ted Cruz of Texas, John Hoeven of North Dakota, Pete Ricketts of Nebraska, and Sens. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Mike Crapo, and Jim Risch of Idaho are among the other Republicans who signed the letter.
