The tragic murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley has left her family devastated and grappling with an unimaginable loss. Laken was fatally attacked while out for a run on the University of Georgia campus last month, a senseless and avoidable tragedy that has shaken her loved ones to the core.
The suspect in Laken's murder, Jose Abar, is an illegal migrant who unlawfully entered the U.S. in 2022. Despite being arrested previously, he was released, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has revealed that the federal government was never informed about Abar's status.
