Laken Riley might still be alive if it wasn’t for NYC’s sanctuary city laws under ex-Mayor Bill de Blasio, lefty City Council members: critics

Murdered Georgia nursing student Laken Riley might still be alive if it wasn’t for sanctuary city policies pushed by former Mayor Bill de Blasio and left-wing extremists on the City Council — who have “blood on their hands,” critics told The Post.

Nearly six months before the 22-year-old Riley was found dead Feb. 22 on the University of Georgia’s campus, her alleged killer Jose Antonio Ibarra, 26, was arrested in Queens on Aug. 31 and charged with endangering a child.

However, because of migrant-friendly changes made to the sanctuary city policy in both 2014 in 2017 by de Blasio and the Melissa Mark-Viverito-led City Council, the NYPD had no choice but to cut the Venezuelan-born Ibarra loose — instead of turning him over to federal immigration officials — because he didn’t have any major crime convictions

biden, de blasio, hillary, obamas all couldn’t care less. The victim was WHITE. And the police didn’t release whether the poor girl was raped. I am guessing she was, he then crushed her skull. No punishment will be enough for this illegal scumbag.

“…if it wasn’t…” nope. …” if it weren’t..” would be the correct English grammar in that one. But hey, they just write for a living.

Heritage Foundation said
In 2023 alone, Border Patrol agents have encountered thousands of illegal aliens with prior criminal convictions, including assault, rape, and murder. The true extent of crimes committed by illegal aliens remains unknown because there are also over 1.5 million unaccounted for “gotaways” since Biden’s term began.

A 2021 Department of Justice report revealed that 64% of federal arrests in 2018 involved noncitizens, despite them comprising only 7% of the population at that time.

100% Xiden’s fault, he invited the murdering terrorist across our border in the first place. These kinds of heinous crimes will go into the next generation thanks to this commie. Hope I live long enough to hear Hitler and Biden mentioned in the same sentence when evil is mentioned.

Athens GA is a ‘friendly city’.. another name for sanctuary city.. and with the college there, lots of young people. What in the world goes thru the mind of a governor that would decide to do things like that!
Education, a degree.. does not give you the wisdom needed to not be stupid.. dumb..

Sanctuary cities are breeding grounds for the worst of humanity... is there any common sense in the younger (40-50) generations today? the generations that are in leadership positions..
Just open the border.. how long did it take to make that decision? were there any plans when that open border gave way to all kinds of danger for citizens... it’s treasonous to do what they did with the border.. and exposed the citizens of the US to all kinds of danger.
Just dumb!! Just unthinkable! Just not caring at all!

Governor Kemp did not declare Athens, Ga. a sanctuary city. That irresponsible decision was executed by the socialist Athens-Clark County council. The elected police chief did not ever want to cooperate with ICE.
IMO the police chief and the members of the Athens-Clarke County who voted to make the county and The city of Athens a sanctuary county should be prosecuted along with the alleged killer whom they enabled.

it’s late.. I aimed to say Mayor.. of Athens. I know Kemp did not do that. The press conference with the responsible persons in Athens, was loud and angry. The report said this killer came to GA and lived with his brother. being a ‘sanctuary city’, it is not safe to go walking/running anywhere any time. especially alone.

The man in the news conference was taking a deserved beating from people there.. he defended the friendly city arrangement. he defended too much, that’s why it got loud.
