Republican committee chairs Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Tom McClintock (R-CA) sent a strongly worded letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Tuesday demanding information on the illegal migrant who stands accused of killing nursing student Laken Riley in Georgia.
This from newsmax.com.
Jordan, chair of the House Judiciary and McClintock, Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement chair, want documentation related to Jose Antonio Ibarra, who faces multiple murder and assault charges in the death of the 22-year-old Riley, who died from blunt force trauma while out for a run on the University of Georgia campus.
The letter stated:
Ibarra and his brother, Diego Ibarra, entered the U.S. illegally from Venezuela in September 2022, then the [Obiden Regime] released Ibarra into the United States.
Jose Ibarra was then arrested a little over a year later, on Sept. 14, 2023, by New York Police Department officers, charged with acting in a manner to injure a child less than age 17 and a motor vehicle license violation.
Jordan and McClintock wrote:
Criminal aliens exploit vulnerabilities in our nation’s immigration system to the detriment of those in the United States. The [Regime’s] border and immigration policies only increase the likelihood that criminal aliens will successfully enter and remain in the U.S.
Jordan and McClintock have given Mayorkas until March 12 to turn over Jose Ibarra’s case history, alien file, history of entries into the U.S. and:
[Whether] CBP officials were alerted to derogatory information about the alien and what questions were asked of the alien during the screening process.
Riley, a nursing student at Augusta University, was found dead Thursday after a roommate reported she didn’t return from a morning run in a wooded area of the University of Georgia campus near its intramural fields. Riley attended Augusta’s Athens campus.
Diego Ibarra himself had been arrested three times by Athens, Georgia, law enforcement since entering the U.S., including for DUI and driving without a license. He was charged Friday for possessing a fraudulent U.S. permanent resident card, the Department of Justice announced, the same day his brother was charged with Riley’s murder.
Mayorkas was impeached by the Republican-led House earlier this month and faces a potential trial in the Senate. However, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (C/G-NY) will likely push for dismissal, which requires a simple majority in the communist/globalist-led Senate.
The Georgia state’s General Assembly passed legislation in 2009 making sanctuary cities illegal in Georgia. However, the Center for Immigration Studies states Atlanta and the adjacent counties of Clayton and DeKalb, and the city of Athens and adjacent Clarke county are sanctuary communities.
So, sanctuary counties/cities do exist in Georgia—illegally, no less—but if the state legislature outlawed sanctuary cities in 2009, the tools and the impetus have been upon Governor Kemp to rectify this obvious problem, yes?
NOTE: Athens, Georgia, is the location of the University of Georgia’s main campus. With the information that Athens GA is a sanctuary city made public, some parents may choose to send their sons and daughters elsewhere to school.
Final thoughts: We the People demand to see something more than a strongly worded letter. Damn that compromised RINO Governor Brian Kemp for allowing this to happen. And damn him for not bringing this sanctuary status to an immediate end when he first took office.
How many more deaths to the hands of violent illegal aliens must the state of Georgia withstand before anything positive will be accomplished by this compromised RINO governor?
