Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee is calling on the Justice Department to "wake up and do something" after a Nepalese student accused of killing three teenagers in a drunken driving accident in her district fled the country.


The United States doesn't have an extradition agreement with Nepal, but the Texas Democrat told FoxNews.com she is urging U.S. officials to "use all measures possible to secure the return" of 25-year-old Sajan Tamalshina.


"Obviously, we have three dead teenagers that didn't need to lose their lives to a drunk driver," she said.


Jackson Lee said U.S. officials have made some "initial inquiries" after she demanded action in a House floor speech last week. The district attorney's office in the county where the accident occurred has said it is working with the State Department and the U.S. Marshal's service to track Tamalshina in Nepal.
