WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) today released the following statement regarding the homecoming of United States Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi, who had been held in jail in Mexico since March.
“After 214 days in Mexican jail, I am glad Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi is finally reunited with his family and is back home in the United States,” Rep. Scalise said. “This is long overdue, and would not have been possible without the relentless work of my colleagues Chairman Ed Royce and Rep. Matt Salmon, whose efforts helped make Sgt. Tahmooressi’s release a reality.”
