An illegal immigrant has been charged with the murder of 22-year-old Georgia nursing student Lakin Riley, prompting Georgia Governor Brian Kemp to demand answers from the Biden administration regarding the killer's immigration status. Governor Kemp expressed his condolences to Lakin Riley's family, emphasizing the grief and outrage felt by all involved.
The motive behind the crime remains unclear, with Governor Kemp stating that the incident appears to have been random. Local law enforcement, supported by resources from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, swiftly apprehended the suspect, underscoring the importance of ongoing investigations to uncover further details.
Governor Kemp highlighted the broader issue of border security, referencing a letter sent by Republican governors to the Biden administration seeking information on individuals entering the country. He expressed frustration over the lack of communication and transparency regarding immigration policies, particularly in light of incidents involving non-U.S. citizens committing crimes within the country.
The Governor emphasized the need for accountability and proper enforcement of immigration laws to prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future. He called for increased collaboration between state and federal authorities to address the challenges posed by an unsecure southern border and ensure the safety of all residents.
