Suspect Charged With Killing Georgia Student Is An Illegal Migrant From Venezuela

The suspect arrested and accused of killing a 22-year-old Georgia nursing student is an illegal migrant from Venezuela. 

The news was confirmed to Fox News Digital: 

26-year-old Jose Antonio Ibarra, the suspect charged in the murder of nursing student Laken Riley on the University of Georgia campus, is a Venezuelan national who crossed illegally into El Paso, Texas, in September 2022 & was released into the U.S. via parole, three ICE & DHS sources told Fox News. 

ICE does not currently have an official comment on the situation. Yesterday, the Department of Justice (DOJ) charged Ibarra’s brother, Diego Ibarra, 29, with having a fake/fraudulent green card.

Riley was reported missing by a friend to the university’s police department on Thursday after she had gone for a run near the Intramural Fields and did not return.

About an hour later, law enforcement pursued an investigation and discovered Riley’s body in the forested area behind Lake Herrick.

During a press conference on Friday, investigators revealed Ibarra did not know Riley and that the crime was at random. 

The 26-year-old illegal migrant was charged with malice murder, felony murder, aggravated battery, aggravated assault, false imprisonment, kidnapping, hindering a 911 call, and concealing the death of another.

Laken Riley should be alive today.

But she was murdered by an illegal immigrant Biden let cross our border in El Paso, TX and then released into the country and allowed to stay.

RT to tell Biden to close the border NOW.

Pray for Laken's family.

Thanks to President Joe Biden’s reckless immigration policies, more Americans have wound up dead. 

There has been nearly a 60 percent increase in the number of migrant deaths under Biden compared to the Obama Administration. A 2021 Department of Justice report stated that 64 percent of federal arrests involved illegal aliens. 

The increase in illegal migration has brought a rise in crime in the United States, posing a significant threat to Americans.
