The Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act (Pub. L. 106–523 (text) (PDF), 18 U.S.C. §§ 3261–3267) (MEJA) is a law intended to place military contractors under U.S. law.[1][2] The law was used to prosecute former Marine Corps Sgt. Jose Luis Nazario, Jr. for the killing of unarmed Iraqi detainees, though he was ultimately acquitted.[2]
