Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, speaks at an annual leadership meeting of the Republican Jewish Coalition Saturday, Nov. 19, 2022, in Las Vegas. WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden signed into law Monday a bill from Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and John Ossoff, D-Ga., extending the term of the Civil Rights Cold Case Review Board, which is tasked with investigating unsolved lynchings and murders from the Civil Rights era.
“During the Civil Rights movement, there were far too many unsolved violent race-based crimes committed against African Americans,” Cruz said in a statement Monday. “It’s my hope that by giving the Review Board more time to examine the case files related to these unsolved crimes, we can shed sunlight on these Civil Rights cold cases and finally bring justice to the victims and their families.”
The bill, which the Senate passed in September and the House in November, extends the Review Board’s term an additional three years, through 2027.
