Two Days After Laken Riley's Brutal Murder, the Local Mayor Had This to Say About 'Sanctuary' Policies

Clarke County Sheriff's Office

We've covered the horrific story of Laken Riley's murder pretty extensively.  You know that she was beaten to severely that her skull was 'disfigured.'  You know that her accused killer was 'paroled' into America under a Biden policy for illegal immigrants, despite some red flags about gang affiliations.  You know that the suspect allegedly committed multiple crimes in New York City, but was released from custody.  New York's lax laws push many criminals out onto the streets after arrests, and its 'sanctuary' policies bar local officials from cooperating with ICE to remove such people from the country.  You know that he fled the jurisdiction and landed in another local 'sanctuary,' this time in Athens, Georgia -- where he allegedly committed yet more crimes.  Still walking free, he then allegedly bludgeoned Riley, a 22-year old nursing student, to death.

You know that President Biden ignored this story until he was heckled into saying something at the State of the Union Address.  You know that he then got the victim's name wrong, and subsequently apologized...for referring to the killer as "illegal," explaining that he would never "disrespect" such people, and adding that illegal immigrants "built the country."  You also know that the Biden campaign falsely accused Trump of calling immigrants "animals," when the clear context of his comments referred to illegal immigrants who murder Americans:


Team Biden is continuing this lie.  I'd ask if Biden thinks it's acceptable to call illegal immigrant murderers 'animals,' but he's already groveled for forgiveness from left-wingers after calling one 'illegal,' so we already know the answer.  After the terrible Riley atrocity, many Americans were rightly critical of the slew of "progressive" policies that contributed to her entirely avoidable murder -- from open borders, to soft-on-crime weakness, to 'sanctuary' cities.  Now we know that the mayor of Athens, Georgia, where the incident took place, was doubling down on dangerous 'sanctuary' policies in the immediate aftermath of the killing:

"Humane."  To whom?  Why should an illegal immigrant who has violated more of our laws be protected from deportation?  This mayor cites statistics about immigrants committing fewer crimes per capita, versus native-born Americans -- an irrelevant point I dealt with here.  This man was bear-hugging sanctuary policies that aided and abetted a vicious murder in his town within 48 hours of said murder.  Are these the elected leaders the people of Athens really want representing them?  


I'll leave you with yet more examples of why illegal immigrant criminals relish 'sanctuary' policies, to the detriment of innocent victims:
