After the arrest of Jose Antonio Ibarra in connection with Laken Riley‘s murder, Georgia politicians have swiftly pointed fingers at federal immigration policies as contributing factors to the tragic incident.

Georgia Representative Mike Collins, in a strong statement, held President Joe Biden and U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas accountable, linking Riley’s death to lax immigration controls.

Adding to the sentiment, Georgia Senator John Kennedy criticized Athens’ sanctuary city policies for endangering citizens and emboldening criminals.

Following suit, Governor Brian Kemp criticized the Biden administration’s immigration stance, highlighting the need for stronger border security measures.

Amidst the blame game, Democrats in the General Assembly called for respectful grieving space for Riley’s family and pushed back on the politicization of the tragedy.

Recent insights from law enforcement revealed that both Jose and Diego Ibarra were in the U.S. as undocumented immigrants, shedding light on their status in the country.
