Yet another American has fallen victim to one of the people that President Joe Biden and the Democrats “care about most,” as Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy said weeks ago.
An illegal alien that Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas released on parole is suspected in the murder of nursing student Laken Riley, who was found dead at a lake near the University of Georgia.
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp and a congressman pinned the murder on the man who freed the illegal alien: Joe Biden.
Caught and Released
A nursing student at Augusta University’s Athens campus, Riley was found dead on a jogging trail near Lake Allyn M. Herrick at 12:30 p.m. on February 22. The trail was close to the University of Georgia, which Riley attended for three years, the New York Post reported.
Police allege that Ibarra, a Venezuelan, murdered her. He is charged with kidnapping, false imprisonment, malice and felony murder, and aggravated battery and assault, Atlanta’s Fox 5 reported. He is also charged with hindering a 911 call and concealing a death.
Ibarra jumped the border and was caught on September 8, 2022, Augusta CBS affiliate WRDW reported.
A spokesman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement told the station that “he was paroled and released for further processing.”
Ibarra and his wife, who married “so we could join our asylum cases,” she told the Post, landed in New York a week later.
In September last year, Fox 5 New York confirmed, cops arrested him for “acting in a manner to injure a child less than 17 and a motor vehicle license violation.”
He and his wife separated, she told the Post, and Ibarra traveled to George to live with his brother, also an illegal-alien criminal.
The Post also disclosed that Diego Ibarra was arrested during the murder investigation because he used a fake green card to apply for a job at the university earlier this month. When he didn’t submit further documentation that he was eligible to work, the university fired him.
Police found out about that when they questioned him about the murder of Riley, the Post continued:
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) became aware of Diego Ibarra’s undocumented status when an Athens-Clarke County police officer approached him, the sworn affidavit revealed.
At the time, local authorities believed that he matched the description of the suspect sought for Riley’s killing.
Diego Ibarra gave the officer a permanent resident card, or green card, which was then determined to be fraudulent, the document explained.
Further investigation revealed that he was met by the US Border Patrol in El Paso, Texas, on April 30, 2023.
He was processed for immediate removal, but was released to New York City pending asylum after he claimed reasonable fear of returning to his home country, the affidavit explained.
Several months later, in late September, he was nabbed by the Athens-Clarke County Police Department for driving under the influence and driving without a license.
He was subsequently arrested in the popular college area two more times: Once in October for shoplifting, and once in December for failing to appear for a fingerprintable offense, according to the official document.
Kemp’s Letter
Noting that he and two dozen governors demanded answers about the illegal-alien invasion, Kemp wrote to Biden to say that his “continued silence in response to these reasonable requests is outrageous.”
Kemp wants to know why he wasn’t told about the Ibarras’ bogus asylum claims and release of an illegal with fake documents and a drunk driving arrest, and why he doesn’t know Jose Ibarra’s immigration status, and what else Biden knows about the Ibarras and how they entered the country.
GOP Representative Mike Collins, who represents Georgia’s 10th District, also fingered Biden, along with Mayorkas, for Riley’s murder.
“The blood of Laken Riley is on the hands of Joe Biden, Alejandro Mayorkas, and the government of Athens-Clarke County,” he wrote on X:
The Venezuelan suspect in Laken Riley’s murder is one of millions of illegal aliens that the Biden administration has released into this country to be welcomed with open arms by Democrat-run sanctuary jurisdictions. This man had no business being in America, much less the UGA community to brutally murder this young American while she was on a run.
To put this in simpler terms: if this border was secure, and Athens not a sanctuary city, Laken Riley would be alive.
Conservative social media also hammered Biden for his silence. He hasn’t mentioned Riley, and his X feed since the murder is riddled with nonsense and Democrat talking points. He mostly recently claimed that “we’re building affordable high-speed internet everywhere in America.” He also burbled about student debt relief, Orange Man Bad, and “fighting for the freedom of women.”
That fight didn’t include the freedom of Laken Riley to jog without being murdered by one of Biden’s “migrants.” And Riley, of course, isn’t the only victim.
The End Wokeness X feed put Biden’s insouciance this way:
27 posts from Biden about George Floyd.
0 posts from Biden about Laken Riley.
Did her life matter, @JoeBiden?
“Say Her Name,” Oli London wrote. “Laken Riley.… Joe Biden has not issued a single tweet about her death.”
Maybe that’s because Biden and the Democrats care more about the Venezuelan illegals than they do about Americans.
As Connecticut Democrat Murphy explained weeks ago, Democrats have “failed to deliver for the people we care about most, the undocumented Americans that are in this country.”
They also failed to deliver for Laken Riley.
