Expresses support for "Walter Patterson and Werner Foerster Justice and Extradition Act."

This resolution (SR 24) expresses the New Jersey Senate's support for a proposed federal bill (H.R. 2189) that would require the U.S. President to submit a report to Congress on fugitives living abroad who the U.S. has sought to extradite. The federal bill aims to gather specific data - including the number of outstanding cases, diplomatic efforts made, resolution rates, and barriers to extradition - to help evaluate and strengthen U.S. extradition efforts. It directly relates to cases like the 1962 murder of New Jersey resident Walter Patterson (by George Wright, now in Portugal) and the 1973 murder of New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster (by Joanne Chesimard, now in Cuba), where extradition has been refused. The resolution itself does not create new law but urges federal action to address unresolved extradition requests.
