Senators introduce SPIES Act to eliminate statute of limitations for foreign espionage crimes against the United States.
Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senators John Cornyn, James Lankford, and Mike Rounds have introduced the SPIES Act, aimed at enhancing accountability for foreign espionage. This legislation seeks to eliminate the statute of limitations for certain espionage-related offenses, which, according to the senators, would allow law enforcement to prosecute perpetrators regardless of when the crime occurred.
Senator Cornyn emphasized, “Espionage is a serious crime,” and noted that the bill aims to ensure that those who steal sensitive information face justice. Senator Lankford remarked that the legislation is intended to hold spies accountable, while Senator Rounds highlighted the importance of repealing expiration dates on such serious crimes to deter future offenses.
The SPIES Act is a response to cases like that of former U.S. Ambassador Manuel Rocha, who pled guilty to espionage. The senators argue that extending prosecutorial powers in these instances will better safeguard U.S. interests.
