Sasse calls for Russia to be expelled from Interpol

Published April 26, 2022 12:21pm ET



Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse has joined a chorus of voices calling for the expulsion of Russia from one of the world’s largest law enforcement organizations.

Sasse filed a letter on Monday calling for Interpol to suspend Russia’s access to its databases. Several law enforcement officials have advocated the move, including Attorney General Merrick Garland and the United States’s “Five Eyes” partners. However, the agency has declined to do so over a notion of neutrality and has instead decided to implement “heightened supervision and monitoring measures in relation to Russia.”
