Yesterday marked the one-year anniversary of the Laken Riley Act—the first bill President Trump signed into law in his second term. The law is named after the Georgia nursing student who was brutally attacked and murdered in 2024 by an illegal alien from Venezuela, Jose Ibarra. This thug was allowed into our country by Joe Biden.
Laken Riley was just one of many American victims of the Left’s insane open border and sanctuary city policies. Those policies allow illegal foreign nationals to rob, rape, and murder American citizens. Jose Ibarra had multiple run-ins with law enforcement in New York and in Georgia, but he was released each time.
If our immigration laws had been enforced during the Biden/Harris years, Laken Riley would be alive today. If sanctuary cities cooperated with federal immigration police, Laken Riley would be alive today.
