A Venezuelan man who illegally crossed the southern border in 2022 has been charged in connection with the murder of University of Georgia student Laken Riley. The Biden Administration released the suspect in El Paso, where he then listed his preferred destination as New York City with the help of an NGO.
Speaking on the condition of anonymity, a source with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) told Breitbart News that 26-year-old Jose Antonio Ibarra was arrested by ICE officers with the Atlanta field office. The source revealed that Ibarra entered the country in September 2022 before he was released from Border Patrol custody due to overcrowding in holding facilities.
“He lives here in Athens, but is not a U.S. citizen,” UGA Police Chief Jeffrey L. Clark confirmed at a press conference announcing Ibarra’s arrest. He is facing charges of malice murder, felony murder, aggravated battery, aggravated assault, false imprisonment, kidnapping, hindering a 911 call and concealing the death of another, law enforcement officials announced.
Clark said he believed the attack was a “crime of opportunity” and that the suspected killer had no known connection to the victim. Ibarra is not a UGA student, he added.
“However, the main countries migrants are coming from today are Venezuela, Ecuador, El Salvador, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Cuba,” City officials stated. “Though the numbers have been as high as 90% and as low as 50% from Venezuela, the number is currently holding at approximately 70%.”
The unprecedented uptick in illegal border crossings prompted Border Patrol to release thousands of new arrivals from custody. El Paso officials also started bussing illegal aliens to New York City, transporting 1,135 migrants on 25 busses by mid-September, Breitbart News reported at the time.
According to a report from NewsNation, Ibarra listed the Covenant House in New York as his “sponsor address” before he was released from custody in El Paso. It is unclear if he was one of the migrants bussed to New York City.
I keep reading that we’re not just getting foreign invaders but foreign invaders who are criminals in their own countries. Heard it reported that the prison doors of the invading countries have been thrown open and the inmates sent here. And every day we read of their crimes, not just minor crimes, but heinous crimes. Will this new week be the week we do something more about it?
Once again at the impasse, the impasse that can freeze one immobile.
(Aside: I hate myself. Not all the time, only when the impasse freezes me)
