It is the sense of Congress that— the Secretary of State should engage with the highest levels of the Government of Saudi Arabia to advocate for the immediate extradition of Mr. Noorah, Mr. Alhamoud, and any other Saudi national or citizen charged with a criminal offense committed in the United States back to the appropriate authorities in the United States; the apparent involvement of the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the removal of Mr. Noorah violates Oregon Statute 162.325, which prohibits providing a person with money, transportation, weapon, disguise, or any other means of avoiding discovery or apprehension, and should be condemned; the Attorney General, in coordination with relevant Federal and State authorities, should investigate— whether any Saudi diplomat or agent of the Government of Saudi Arabia— furnished Mr.
Noorah with a fraudulent passport; or assisted him in traveling to Saudi Arabia on or before June 17, 2018; and the degree to which any party or parties assisted in the removal of Mr. Alhamoud from Oregon to Saudi Arabia in 2012; the President should declare any individual enjoying diplomatic or consular immunity who protected a party from the criminal jurisdiction of the United States as a persona non grata ; and the Department of State should not accredit any Saudi diplomat to serve in the Saudi consulate in Los Angeles until— Abdhulrahman Noorah and Ali Hussain Alhamoud are returned to the United States to face criminal charges brought against them; and the United States finds no reasonable cause to conclude that a Saudi diplomat or agent of the Saudi government aided in the transport of either individual back to Saudi Arabia.
