NBC News: Republicans Pounce on Murder of Student by Illegal Immigrant

Twitchy

In case you hadn't heard (some of the headlines buried it), Athens resident Jose Antonio Ibarra, a Venezuelan who was arrested in connection with the killing of 22-year-old Augusta University College of Nursing student Laken Riley, was in the country illegally. As we said, some outlets ignored Ibarra's immigration status altogether; other media outlets, like the Associated Press, not only left out that detail but chose instead to focus on the dangers facing women who run alone.

Never fear: Of course the mainstream media was going to do a "Republicans pounce" story; the only question is who would do it first. The winner seems to be NBC News, which has come up with a new word to replace "pounce" and "seize": "invoke."

The tweet says Republicans are pushing for tougher immigration tactics, but the headline says they're pushing for "hard-line immigration policies."

Megan Lebowitz writes about the "undocumented" immigrant:

Republicans at the state and national levels are pointing to the death of a woman on the University of Georgia campus in their push for tougher immigration tactics after an undocumented immigrant was charged in the killing of 22-year-old Laken Riley.

Ibarra, who lived in Athens, where the University of Georgia is based, had been arrested by U.S. Customs and Border Protection on Sept. 8, 2022, after he crossed into the U.S. He was paroled and released for further processing, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, a Republican, also used Riley’s death to criticize the Biden administration.

“It’s outrageous we still have no idea who is entering this country illegally and where they’re being released,” Kemp said Sunday on X. “Americans have a right to this information, and I’m demanding the Biden administration provide it so we don’t lose even more innocent lives like Laken Riley’s.”

Is Gov. Brian Kemp wrong? House Speaker Mike Johnson tweeted that we President Joe Biden should "close the border." Those sure sound like hard-line immigration policies.

And pointing. Republicans are pointing at the murder to convince Biden to secure the border, which we guess for NBC News is a "hard-line" immigration policy.
