context: Certain ly, subpart A targets traditional common-law fugitives, specifically, persons who allegedly committed crimes while in the United States and who, upon learning that their arrest was sought, fled the country. Similarly, the "reenter" provision of sub-part B extends disentitlement authority over another class of persons traditionally recognized as "fugitives," that is, persons who allegedly committed crimes while in the United States but who were outside the country -- for whatever reason -- when they learned that their arrests were sought and who then refused to return to the United States in order to avoid prosecution.
