Laken Riley's father pleads with Georgia to declare migrant invasion

Laken Riley's father demanded the Georgia state government 'declare an illegal invasion' after the 22-year-old nursing student was allegedly killed by a migrant this past month.

'I stand before you, a heartbroken man,' Jason Riley said Wednesday afternoon.

'Part of my purpose has been taken. God gave me a beautiful daughter to father, protect, provide for and nurture. A man with an evil heart stole her life. He was in this country and in this state illegally,' he added.

My vision for every senator in this chamber is that you protect citizens from this illegal invasion,' Riley continued.

He turned to the fact that 'there are a million illegal aliens' in Georgia 'making families nervous' and cited Georgia's capital, Athens, where he was speaking held sanctuary policies.

'Please recognize Athens-Clarke as a sanctuary city, and this policy and the lack of action, led to the murder of my daughter,' he said.

What a profound and heartfelt testimony Laken's father gave before the Georgia state legislature.

The accused in the murder of Laken Riley has been indicted by a grand jury, and there is an additional charge of "Peeping Tom." Seems that the same day he murdered Laken Riley, he had been peeping into the window at University Village Apartments and spying on a university staff member who lived there.

Jose Ibarra appeared before a Clarke County Superior Court judge for his arraignment hearing.

The hearing only lasted a few minutes as Ibarra’s attorneys entered his plea. Riley’s family was inside the courtroom in tears while Ibarra sat next to his attorney wearing headphones.

Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student, was killed while jogging on the University of Georgia campus on Feb. 22. Police arrested Ibarra, a Venezuelan migrant, and charged him in her death.

A grand jury indicted Ibarra on 10 charges: malice murder, three counts of felony murder, kidnapping with bodily injuries, aggravated assault with intent to rape, aggravated battery, obstructing or hindering a person from making an emergency telephone call, tampering with evidence and Peeping Tom.

[..]

When he arrived at Athens-Clarke County Superior Courthouse on Friday, Riley’s mother, Allyson Phillips, began sobbing, according to a Fox News reporter at the scene. A judge says the case will now have a status hearing in August, with a trial expected by this fall.

''Finding an impartial jury in Athens-Clarke County to consider the murder and other charges against Jose Ibarra for the killing of Laken Hope Riley is impossible, attorneys John Donnelly and Kaitlyn Beck said in a court filing. A shackled Ibarra appeared in court on Friday dressed in a button-front shirt and slacks.
Superior Court Judge H. Patrick Haggard said during the brief hearing that he was planning to start jury selection on Nov. 13 and then proceed with the trial the following week.
He gave prosecutors 10 days to respond to the request for a change of venue, which was filed on Thursday.''

Plus, Athens is big enough that a jury can be found. The trial is fine where it is, and it will be fair.
