Title missing the word "Alien" because of 100 char limit
The attorney for the accused murderer of Mollie Tibbetts filed a gag order on Wednesday to prevent his client from being referred to as an illegal alien.
The defendant, 24-year-old Christian Bahena Rivera, has been charged with first degree murder for the slaying of Iowa college student Tibbetts. Rivera led investigators to the Tibbetts body in a cornfield after he admitted that he followed her while she was running.
Rivera, a Mexican national, has been residing in the Poweshiek County area for up to seven years, according to officials. He was employed at Yarrabee Farms and was initially reported to have been vetted in the governments E-Verify system, however, it was later determined that he had not in fact been checked via E-Verify and his employers knew him under a different name, reported the Des Moines Register.

The gag order purports that by referring to Rivera as illegal, he will be denied a fair trial, and consequently, the government must not refer to him as anything other than a documented resident.
The order states that Rivera has legal status in the U.S. and further claims that the Iowa Board of Regents has verified Rivera is in the jurisdiction legally.

Hes not an illegal. someone who commits a crime is called a CRIMINAL, not an illegal...
Remember what happened to William Wallace?
We need to bring that back for cases like this.
File this one under “Why People Dislike Lawyers”.
If this guy is not here legally,is a Mexican national,then as far as this country is concerned ....he is an illegal alien. If the lawyer doesn’t like the sound of those words,that’s too bad. Maybe he needs to be jailed along with the defendant.
“White Hispanic” Oops! Been done already.
I prefer to call him, “un chico todo americano.”
They don’t need to gag order, the media is already complicit and on board with calling him undocumented or just immigrant.
We should refer to Riveira from now on as “Illegal Alien” Rivera. ( In contrast to Whorealdo Rivera, the idiot on FOX)
If you can’t call him an Illegal, then the Court Case is ILLEGAL>.
The media is already gagged. Voluntarily.
He murdered a young white girl and he wants a fair trial
It was “decided” a long time ago that anyone that is in the US has the same Civil Rights as citizens do. That includes people that are here illegally.
No idea who is paying his attorney but he may well be court appointed and paid by you and I. If not he is likely being paid by an open borders group that supports illegals.
Okay Mr. Rivera, I promise to not refer to you as an ‘illegal alien.’ I have a more meaningful name for you and all your fellow border-breakers: CRIMINAL alien.
And just for you, the title has a double meaning: 1. You illegally broke into my county. 2. You illegally killed Molly. There: twice a criminal.
May your remaining life in this world truly be a living hell.
Not quite sure what role the Board of Regents has in this other than lamenting the death of one of its charges... and the trivia, IIRC that the perp’s employer used to sit on that Board.
The “Iowa Court of Opinion” will be remembering the demorats’ attempts to protect this murdering illegal alien when the elections AND the Iowa caucuses come around - (cue: Elizabeth Warren’s foot in mouth)...
It seems to me that the defense counsel is demanding that the court require the officers of the court put forward a lie. I don’t know what the “Iowa Regents”, role in determination of immigration status might be, but that responsibility solely rests with the Federal Government.
Is he a graduate of the Tijuana Law School?
Is Rivera's attorney filing a fraudulent gag order? Isn't that a CRIME?
Is Christian going to be CHARGED for IDENTIFY THEFT, ILLEGAL ENTRY INTO THE UNITED STATES, ETC., in addition to the murder charge?
What do the Iowa Board of Regents have to do with immigration status? Don’t they have something to do with their college system?
Cristhian bahena Rivera’s father says he is an illegal alien.
Around his 16th birthday, Rivera left Guayabillo to find work in the United States, his father said.
There are no jobs here, so he left, Bahena said, adding that his son crossed the border illegally and was undocumented in the United States.
He settled in Iowa because his uncle was already living there, Bahena said. He found work on a series of milk farms and often sent money back to his parents in Mexico.”
