Former President Trump criticized Democrat border security policies after the murder of Georgia student Laken Riley by an illegal immigrant.
Trump pledged to seal the border and conduct the largest deportation operation of illegal criminals if elected.
The suspect, Jose Antonio Ibarra, a Venezuelan national, entered the U.S. illegally in 2022 and had a criminal record.
Trump blamed the Biden administration for the incident, emphasizing the need for stricter immigration enforcement.
“Crooked Joe Biden’s Border INVASION is destroying our country and killing our citizens!” Trump wrote. “The horrible murder of 22-year-old Laken Riley at the University of Georgia should have NEVER happened!”
“The monster who took her life illegally entered our Country in 2022… and then was released AGAIN by Radical Democrats in New York after injuring a CHILD!!” he wrote.
“When I am your President, we will immediately Seal the Border, Stop the Invasion, and on Day One, we will begin the largest deportation operation of illegal CRIMINALS in American History!” Trump said.
“May God Bless Laken Riley and her family!!! Our prayers are with you!” he wrote.
Ibarra was arrested and charged with multiple crimes, including murder.
ICE confirmed encountering him previously but was unable to issue a detainer before his release.
