Iowa Republicans reintroduce Sarah's Law as GOP zeroes in on border

Iowa congressional Republicans are reintroducing “Sarah’s Law” as the anniversary of a young woman allegedly killed at the hands of an illegal immigrant approaches, the latest step from GOP lawmakers to tackle the border and immigration with unified control of Washington.

Jan. 31 will mark nine years since Sarah Root, 21, was allegedly killed by Edwin Mejia, an illegal immigrant driving intoxicated three times over the legal limit. Mejia was released on bond more than a week after the incident due to a loophole in federal law, and authorities have not located him since.
