Rubio Demands Justice: Calls for Extradition of Fugitives from Cuba
May 3, 2025Senator Marco Rubio is intensifying efforts to extradite American fugitives, including Joanne Chesimard, from Cuba, highlighting the ongoing tension between the U.S. and the Cuban regime.
In a recent statement to Fox News, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has condemned Cuba for harboring American fugitives, particularly Joanne Chesimard, who was convicted of the murder of New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster in 1973. Chesimard, also known as Assata Shakur, escaped from a New Jersey prison in 1979 and has since been living in Cuba, a situation Rubio finds unacceptable.
