the trial of illegal immigrant José Ibarra for the murder of Laken Riley, a nursing student whom Ibarra killed on the campus of the University of Georgia, concluded with Ibarra sentenced to life in prison. Here at PJ Media, we demonstrated how the woke government of Athens-Clarke County, where UGA is located, failed Riley, as did Democrats at every level.
My friend and colleague Sarah Anderson covered the trial and verdict, and those who have sought to put an end to the border crisis and its resulting crime weighed in on the outcome of the trial.
President-elect Donald Trump shared his thoughts on Truth Social:
JUSTICE FOR LAKEN RILEY! The Illegal who killed our beloved Laken Riley was just found GUILTY on all counts for his horrific crimes. Although the pain and heartbreak will last forever, hopefully this can help bring some peace and closure to her wonderful family who fought for Justice, and to ensure that other families don’t have to go through what they have. We love you, Laken, and our hearts will always be with you. It is time to secure our Border, and remove these criminals and thugs from our Country, so nothing like this can happen again!
Gov. Brian Kemp (R-Ga.) wrote in a statement on Instagram:
Though we are glad that justice has been delivered on behalf of Laken Riley, we continue to mourn her loss with her family and friends and know that she should still be with us today.
