This proposal calls for Cuba to return Joanne Chesimard, William “Guillermo” Morales, and other U.S. fugitives to face prosecution or serve sentences. It would require the Secretary of State to raise the issue in talks with Cuba and send Congress annual reports on extradition efforts, treaty compliance, and the estimated number of fugitives there. Reports would end after two consecutive reports find that Cuba is meeting its extradition obligations and returning fugitives. The proposal would also bar certain U.S. law-enforcement funds from supporting programs in Cuba until specified conditions are met. It was introduced in the Senate and referred to the Foreign Relations Committee.
