Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier posted a <a href="https://x.com/AGJamesUthmeier/status/1935741644101374271">video</a> offering a facility for temporary housing for illegal aliens. Uthmeier calls the location “Alligator Alcatraz” due to its location in the Everglades.
In the video posted Thursday, Uthmeier exhibits the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport, located about 50 miles west of Miami in the Florida Everglades. 
Uthmeier described the location as, “an old, virtually abandoned airport facility right in the middle of the Everglades.”
Although the facility has been nearly abandoned, Uthmeier claimed that it could be operational in 30-60 days. After construction, Uthmeier said that “Alligator Alcatraz” would be able to temporarily house around 1000 illegal aliens.
In an <a href="https://x.com/AGJamesUthmeier/status/1935776850275393630">interview</a> with Fox News’s John Roberts, Uthmeier said “We’re going to continue to [detain and deport]. We’ve got thousands of arrests underway. We’re going to enforce the law.”
Uthmeier also commented that, “Florida has been leading on immigration enforcement, supporting the Trump administration and ICE’s effort to detain and deport criminal aliens.”
This comes as Stephen Miller, the White House’s deputy chief of staff and homeland security advisor, <a href="https://x.com/FoxNews/status/1928203005075058782">confirmed</a> the Trump administration had set a minimum goal of 3,000 arrests of illegal aliens per day.
Florida has seen record success at arresting illegal aliens. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reported <a href="https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/ice-arrests-100-illegal-aliens-during-targeted-enforcement-operation-tallahassee">one operation</a> in Tallahassee in which over 100 illegal aliens were arrested at a construction site on May 29th.
Another success for ICE and local Floridian law enforcement professionals occurred between April 21st and 26th. Over 1,100 illegal aliens, including members of violent foreign terrorist organizations as well as 378 aliens with final orders of removal, were arrested in the <a href="https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/largest-joint-immigration-operation-florida-history-leads-1120-criminal-alien-arrests">largest joint immigration operation</a> in Florida history. 
Uthmeier said that, “The governor tasked state leaders to identify the places for new, temporary detention facilities. I think this is the best one. As I call it: Alligator Alcatraz.”
The 30-square-mile, secluded area offers an efficient and low-cost option for temporarily holding illegal aliens while they wait to be deported, claimed Uthmeier. The facility’s location in the heart of the Everglades limits the necessity to invest in a perimeter fence. 
Uthmeier called the facility “Alligator Alcatraz” because of the risk of attempting to escape, just like with Alcatraz prison in the San Francisco Bay. The Florida Everglades is well-known for its alligator and python populations.

Topline: As Ukraine and Russia meet this week for peace talks, a growing list of European countries have elected right-wing leaders amid growing anti-immigration sentiment.
In the last 24 hours, we’ve learned more about <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-ukraine-pulled-off-its-massive-drone-strike-inside-russia">Ukraine’s surprise attack</a> on Russia last weekend. The Ukrainians managed to smuggle scores of attack drones across the border, where they were launched from wooden sheds mounted on the backs of large moving trucks. Because those drones originated within Russian territory, they were able to bypass Putin’s extensive air defense systems, targeting five separate air bases and knocking out dozens of the country’s most important planes. According to some estimates, Ukraine successfully destroyed up to one-third of Russia’s strategic bomber fleet. 
The strikes came at a crucial time, as the two countries began meeting Monday in Istanbul for formal peace talks. Those talks concluded after just 90 minutes, and little progress had been made. Moscow finally presented its terms for peace: Ukraine must recognize all of Russia’s territorial gains, shrink the size of its military, change its official language to Russian, agree to long-term neutrality, and forfeit the right to join NATO.
Meanwhile, Poland elected right-winger Karol Narwocki to the presidency. Many have compared the 42-year-old Narwocki, who had no prior political experience, to Donald Trump, who openly supported Narwocki’s campaign. Narwocki even adopted a similar campaign slogan: “Poland First.&#8221; Among other things, he campaigned on a promise to withdraw from the European Union’s Migration Pact, which he said flooded the continent with illegal immigrants. He’s staunchly pro-life, against same-sex marriage, and has called for a return of Christian values to public life in his country. 
Narwocki has signed a pledge to prevent Ukraine from joining NATO — and like Trump, he’s accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of not showing enough gratitude for the support his country has given Ukraine for its war effort. 
In the last year, conservatives have made historic gains across the continent — largely by promising to crack down on illegal immigration from Africa and the Middle East. In Austria, the country’s right-wing Freedom Party won control of parliament — the first time a hardline Conservative Party had won since World War II. Then, conservatives made historic gains in Germany, with the right-wing AfD party surging. And last week, Portugal’s right-wing Chega party scored a number of victories to become the country’s leading opposition party. 
In Paris this week, we’ve seen mass rioting following a big soccer victory – sparking conversations about law and order and immigration policies in France.
Some left-wing politicians have even adopted a more conservative tone. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, for example, has promised to “significantly” cut down on immigration over the next four years, restrict new visas for skilled labor, and penalize companies that hire foreign labor.
“The experiment is over,” Starmer <a href="https://x.com/addicted2newz/status/1929076924392903007">said</a>. “We will deliver what you’ve asked for time and again. And we will take back control of our borders.”

<h2>Boulder Terror Suspect Charged With Multiple Felonies</h2>

Topline: The man suspected of attacking a Colorado demonstration in support of Israeli hostages has been hit with multiple charges, including a federal hate crime.
Mohamed Sabry Soliman is being held in Boulder County Jail on a $10 million bond.  At the state level, he’s facing felony <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/colorado-hits-egyptian-anti-israel-terror-suspect-with-charges-including-murder">charges</a> for first-degree assault and “extreme indifference” to criminal use of an incendiary device – as well as crimes against the elderly. Federal prosecutors have charged Soliman with a hate crime. The special agent in charge at the FBI’s Denver office, Mark Michalek, said the bureau is investigating the attack as an act of terrorism.
None of the people injured in the attack has died. Soliman himself was treated for burn injuries before he was booked. Police say Soliman received those injuries using a makeshift flamethrower and Molotov cocktails to attack demonstrators.
Soliman is an Egyptian national. He entered the United States in 2022 on a visa that then expired the next year. He was able to obtain a temporary work permit from the Biden administration, but that, too, expired in March this year. Trump said in a social media post on Monday that Soliman “came in through Biden’s ridiculous Open Border Policy, which has hurt our Country so badly.” The president went on to say: “This is yet another example of why we must keep our Borders SECURE, and deport Illegal, Anti-American Radicals from our Homeland.”
In an interview with the FBI, Soliman said that he wanted to kill “Zionists.” Law enforcement also says he screamed “free Palestine” during his assault. The demonstration targeted in the attack was a weekly march in support of the hostages held by terrorists in Gaza. The FBI said that Soliman had planned this attack for at least a year and targeted what he called a “Zionist group.” Colorado Democratic Governor Jared Polis called it a “targeted attack on the Jewish community.”

<h2>Department Of Labor &#8220;Pauses&#8221; Job Corps Program</h2>
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-928429" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_02_17_23.Still004.jpeg" alt="" width="640" height="360" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_02_17_23.Still004.jpeg 640w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_02_17_23.Still004-300x169.jpeg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></div>
Topline: The Department of Labor last week said it was “pausing” most operations at the Job Corps, a $1.7 billion program that trains high school dropouts on residential campuses across the country.
Job Corps was spending an average of $80,000 a year per student, training them to go on to earn an average of $16,000 a year. That’s more than Harvard charges for tuition to essentially get them minimum wage. At one campus run by ODLE Management Group LLC, the cost was $764,000 per graduate.
The Job Corps operates about 130 campuses across the country, where troubled young adults are paid $1,200, plus living expenses, to take classes towards their GED or training in the trades. Most campuses are run by companies whose staff are paid bonuses based on how many people they recruit, and how many get a job afterwards. Reports found that contractors were faking job statistics to make it look like the training worked, and were looking the other way at criminal behavior on campus, because if they expelled students, they’d get less revenue.
“The Trump administration has terminated all contracts with companies,” Daily Wire Investigative Reporter Luke Rosiak told Morning Wire. “About one-fifth of campuses are operated by the Department of Agriculture, and those will remain open. So this is really targeted towards preventing contractors from abusing the taxpayer and using at-risk youth as a cash cow.”
Other forms of exploitation were also common. Discipline data from the Job Corps campuses show that there were 500 sex assaults and 5,000 violent assaults in the last three years. That includes a 16-year old transgender runaway who was ordered to live with a 23-year-old man who was later arrested for raping her. &#8220;One-third of students are expelled, one-third abscond, and one-third graduate,” Rosiak said. “To enroll, you’re required to be on welfare, a refugee, a high school dropout, illiterate, or a victim of sex trafficking.”

A 16-year-old illegal immigrant from Colombia who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/illegal-immigrant-teen-gets-off-easy-after-killing-colorado-woman-in-high-speed-crash" target="_blank" rel="noopener">received</a> probation and community service after killing 24-year-old Kaitlyn Weaver in a high-speed crash in Aurora, Colorado, was nabbed by federal immigration agents last week.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed on Thursday that the illegal immigrant teen was arrested &#8220;along with his family who are also illegal aliens.&#8221; Last July, the Colombian teenager plowed into Weaver&#8217;s vehicle while driving around 90 mph in a residential area, according to authorities. Weaver, who was driving home from work and talking over speaker phone with her boyfriend at the time of the crash, was &#8220;effectively killed instantly,&#8221; her father, John Weaver, said.
ICE&#8217;s Denver field office blasted the Arapahoe District Attorney’s Office for letting the illegal immigrant off the hook.
&#8220;For the @DA18th justice is no jail time and probation for this criminal alien who killed a young woman while driving more than 90mph. For ICE, justice is arrest and removal,&#8221; ICE Denver wrote on X. &#8220;A 16-year-old citizen of Colombia, with a conviction for reckless driving resulting in death was arrested by ICE Denver officers last week and will remain in ICE custody pending an immigration hearing.&#8221;

Along with residing in the United States illegally, the teen was also illegally driving his mother&#8217;s uninsured vehicle, which his mother said he took without permission. The juvenile also had other minors in his vehicle when he crashed into Weaver.

John Weaver said that the district attorney&#8217;s office initially promised to pursue the maximum sentence for the teenager, which would have been two years in a correctional facility. Under new Democratic District Attorney Amy Padden, however, the illegal immigrant was offered two years of probation if he pleaded guilty. Arapahoe County Assistant District Attorney Ryan Brackley said the plea deal was handled by an experienced prosecutor and was not influenced by the new district attorney. The deal was upheld by a judge after hearing from the Weaver family, Brackley added.
Weaver <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/colorado-prosecutor-offers-unlicensed-undocumented-teen-probation-deadly-crash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">worked</a> at a drug rehab center in Aurora and was always looking for ways to care for other people, according to her father. Before taking the job at the drug rehab center, Weaver volunteered for a suicide hotline.
&#8220;She was really trying to make a difference in their lives every day,&#8221; her father said.

A 15-year-old illegal immigrant in Aurora, Colorado, received probation and community service as part of a plea deal with prosecutors after he killed 24-year-old Kaitlyn Weaver last July by plowing a Jeep into the side of her vehicle.
After initially promising to pursue the maximum sentence of two years in a correctional facility for the illegal immigrant, Weaver&#8217;s father, John Weaver, said that the Arapahoe District Attorney&#8217;s Office changed course after different leadership took over a few months later, CBS News Colorado <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/colorado-prosecutor-offers-unlicensed-undocumented-teen-probation-deadly-crash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
&#8220;The DA&#8217;s office said this would be a &#8216;no plea deal&#8217; case, so they were not going to offer anything; any concession,&#8221; Weaver said.
Kaitlyn, who worked at a drug rehab center in Aurora, was <a href="https://x.com/Bubblebathgirl/status/1922666291401265323" target="_blank" rel="noopener">driving home</a> and talking over speaker phone with her boyfriend when the illegal immigrant teenager slammed into the side of her car, driving around 90 mph in a residential area, according to authorities. Footage from a Ring doorbell camera captured the crash, showing the illegal immigrant&#8217;s jeep speeding down the road before the massive collision. Kaitlyn was &#8220;effectively killed instantly,&#8221; her father said. John Weaver and his wife Michelle made the decision to remove Kaitlyn from life support two days later.
The juvenile also had other minors in his vehicle when he crashed into the 24-year-old woman. The Jeep, which the teenager was driving illegally, was uninsured, and his mother said that he took it without her permission. The teen was charged with vehicular homicide.
Under the new Democratic District Attorney, Amy Padden, the illegal immigrant was offered two years of probation if he pleaded guilty, according to Weaver. Arapahoe County Assistant District Attorney Ryan Brackley said the plea deal was handled by an experienced prosecutor and was not influenced by the new district attorney. The deal was upheld by a judge after hearing from the Weaver family, Brackley added.
&#8220;Why the change? If he had taken a firearm and recklessly just shot it and killed someone, this would be a different case. They would be pushing it completely differently,&#8221; Weaver said. &#8220;There&#8217;s no deterrence.&#8221;
&#8220;Immigration and the criminal justice system and all these things landed together one day in Aurora, and now I sit here today without a daughter,&#8221; Weaver added.
Brackley defended the plea deal, saying that before any plea deal is negotiated prosecutors consider &#8220;the impact on the victims and the community,&#8221; &#8220;the characteristics of the defendant such as age, culpability, and level of remorse,&#8221; and the &#8220;goals of sentencing, including deterrence, rehabilitating the offender, treating similarly situated offenders equitably, and holding each offender accountable.&#8221;
&#8220;The negotiated sentence acknowledges the seriousness of this preventable tragedy,&#8221; the assistant district attorney stated.

Patty Morin, whose daughter Rachel, a mother of five, was raped and murdered by El Salvadoran illegal immigrant Victor Martinez-Hernandez in 2023, condemned Democrats for championing the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an alleged MS-13 member whom the Trump administration deported to El Salvador, while ignoring her pain and never reaching out to her.
Morin spoke of the White House press briefing last week at which she spoke, telling <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6371804501112">Fox News Digital</a>, “People were literally shoulder to shoulder cameras, microphones everything going and as soon as I get up to the podium, everyone shut off their cameras; everyone shut off their microphones.”
“People don’t realize what actually happened to my daughter,” she said. “And during the trial, and before the investigation, they only gave us an outline; they didn’t give us details. And during the trial, we actually saw the crime scene photos and the autopsy photos and they had so many expert witnesses come in and testify to this horrendous, gruesome brutal murder, this thing that happened to my daughter. And so I went in and I described, summarized, what had happened to her. She was dragged 150 feet; they followed a 150-foot blood trail to the culvert where her body was. Her body was outlined in blood. The silhouette of her body is against the tunnel ball outlined in the blood that was gushing from her head. She was raped. She was strangled. There wasn’t a part of her body that didn’t have some kind of bruise, abrasion, cut some kind of abuse to it.”
“And none of them had their recorders on or their cameras on because they didn’t want the American people to know how violent these crimes are and how rampant they are,” she stated. “There’s only one or two maybe three that have hit the headlines, but there are thousands of these stories all over America that aren’t being covered because either 1) the family is ashamed; 2) law-enforcement doesn’t wanna cause a panic, and 3) it’s usually blue states or Democrats that wanna downplay it because for some reason, they are profiting in some way from having these 20 million illegal immigrants in our country.”
“I had somebody just this past weekend come up to me and said that there has been migrant crime going on in Maryland and in our county for decades,” she recalled. “He cited one that happened 20 years ago and he said people don’t realize that that was a migrant crime because media and law enforcement kind of played it down.”
Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) flew to El Salvador last week and met with Garcia. Democrat Reps. Robert Garcia of California, Maxwell Frost of Florida, Yassamin Ansari of Arizona and Maxine Dexter of Oregon flew there on Monday.
“It’s been about 20 months since my daughter was murdered; it’s been about ten months that we’ve known it’s been an illegal immigrant, and in all this time, President Biden never reached out; Kamala Harris never reached out; Mayorkas never reached out,” Morin said. “Senators here in Maryland have not reached out at all. And it’s been almost 20 months, total. So their silence and their actions or lack of actions speak volumes to their character and the values that they hold. And as an American citizen, as a Maryland citizen, and as a mom, it tells me that I‘m not important or valuable, and that an illegal immigrant — that means he’s broken federal law by coming into the country and staying here, has broken state law by coming to the country and staying here, and then beating his wife, it’s in court; he’s broken other state laws — they would rather champion his cause, a criminal, than the victim. I think it is utterly despicable.”

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Boston apprehended an illegal immigrant from Guatemala who has been charged with raping a child.
Jose Fernando-Perez, 49, was arrested in Framingham, Massachusetts, on February 2, ICE <a href="https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/ice-boston-arrests-illegal-guatemalan-national-charged-forcibly-raping-massachusetts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a>. He had been charged with three counts of forcible rape of a child and three counts of aggravated rape of a child in 2022 but was released by a judge.
“Jose Fernando-Perez has been charged with some horrific crimes against a minor in our commonwealth,” ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston acting Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde said in the press release. “He is exactly the type of alien we are targeting with our ‘worst first’ policy. He posed a significant danger to the children of Massachusetts, and we will not tolerate such a threat to our community. ICE Boston will continue to prioritize the safety of our public by arresting and removing egregious alien offenders from our New England communities.”
It is unknown exactly when Fernando-Perez illegally entered the United States or where he crossed the border, but it is known that he wasn’t inspected, admitted, or paroled by any U.S. immigration officials, ICE said.
<a class="c-link" href="http://dailywire.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="http://dailywire.com/subscribe" data-sk="tooltip_parent">PRESIDENTS’ DAY SALE! 40% Off DailyWire+ Annual Memberships With Code DW40</a>
He was first arraigned in Lynn District Court in Massachusetts on December 6, 2005, after allegedly leaving the scene of an accident with property damage and for having inaccurate license plates. He was convicted of those charges on October 19, 2012 – nearly seven years later.
On April 19, 2022, the district court arraigned Fernando-Perez for rape of a child by force but dismissed the case because he was indicted by the superior court. ICE lodged an immigration detainer against him with the Essex County House of Correction on May 16, 2022, but the Essex County Superior Court in Salem, Massachusetts, ignored that detainer. This court arraigned Fernando-Perez on six counts pertaining to the rape of a minor but released him on pre-trial conditions on October 6, 2022, according to ICE.
The Essex County Sheriff’s Office <a href="https://www.boston25news.com/news/local/horrific-crimes-guatemalan-man-accused-multiple-counts-child-rape-arrested-by-ice-officers/QRBHFNZCDNGQPB6VHBD4CDZJOM/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Boston 25 News that once a judge releases someone, they’re no longer in their custody, which is similar to what the Massachusetts Trial Court spokesperson told the outlet.
“In order to comply with Massachusetts law, court officers are prohibited from assisting or interfering with ICE agents in executing their obligations under Federal law,” the spokesperson told the outlet. “That means that a court officer will not interfere with ICE arresting an individual who has been released. On the other hand, court officers are prohibited from keeping a released individual in custody awaiting an ICE agent. Massachusetts Court officials do not have the authority to hold an individual in custody solely on the basis of a Federal Civil Immigration Detainer.”
After arresting Fernando-Perez, ICE served him with a notice to appear before a Department of Justice immigration judge, and he remains in ICE custody.

McGraw <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/01/27/us-news/tv-host-dr-phil-films-as-ice-targets-migrants-in-chicago/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">embedded</a> with U.S. immigration officers during deportation raids and interviewed Sam Seda, a Thai national whom border czar Tom Homan stated was “an illegal alien convicted of sex crimes involving children.” “He’s walking the streets of Chicago,” Homan added.
McGraw asked Seda if he’d “been charged with sex crimes involving children,” as Homan had stated, prompting Seda to answer, “Not really.”
“Here in America, we don’t have show trials nor do we ritualistically lambaste such people in service of political power or television ratings,” the Tribune editorial board huffed. “Unlike some nations, we don’t hang, beat or interrogate people in the public square, either.”
Then the Tribune vilified McGraw, saying, “We were astonished to see Phil McGraw, a man who uses a sobriquet that includes the word ‘doctor,’ embedding himself with ICE, a questionable move in and of itself for a person who has claimed to heal, and then literally shining a spotlight on a Thai national who was rounded up by ICE on Sunday in Chicago.&#8221;
The Tribune wrote dramatically, “Dr. Phil’s quarry told him he recognized him from TV and then took part, consciously or not, in his own ritual humiliation for a hungry TV audience.”
After acknowledging that the man &#8220;reportedly was a convicted sex offender and internet predator, and we want him gone,” the Tribune took a swipe at the Trump administration, writing, “We understand the propaganda value, too, for a Trump administration that wants to confirm the president’s point that there are bad people in this city and state without legal authorization.”
“There was something profoundly unsettling about a man who found fame and a huge fortune in our city on ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show,’ a man who made his bones by offering advice to often vulnerable guests as a psychotherapist would, someone who set himself up as an avuncular healer, telling people how to nurture their relationship with their spouse or cope after a relationship has fallen apart,” the Tribune complained.
Not yet done attacking the Trump administration, the Tribune snapped, “We get why Donald Trump’s Department of Justice wants him there: It implies that such people won’t just be removed; they’ll be humiliated at the same time.”
Incredibly, the Tribune then compared Dr. Phil to the Taliban, writing, “Given the abhorrent nature of the Thai national’s crimes, it’s easy to say that’s all fine. Take all the licks you want, Dr. Phil But it’s not. The Taliban do not roam the streets of Chicago, and their modus operandi should not be applied here.”

Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) said during an interview over the weekend that he does not support the Laken Riley Act, named after 22-year-old Laken Riley, who was murdered by 26-year-old Venezuelan illegal alien Jose Ibarra.
Padilla made the remarks about the bill, which has received strong support from both parties, during a Sunday interview on NBC News&#8217; &#8220;Meet The Press&#8221; with Kristen Welker.
&#8220;So my understanding is there was a procedural vote to allow the measure to come up in the Senate for purposes of allowing a debate, allowing us to offer amendments,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The bill currently, as written, is first of all, it&#8217;s not immigration policy. Second of all, it is already in law that those who commit violent crimes can and should be detained and are in that deportation process.&#8221;
Welker had to press Padilla two more times to answer whether he would support the bill after Senators voted 84-9 to advance it in the U.S. Senate.
&#8220;As currently written I&#8217;m a no, because it opens the doors for people simply being charged, without a conviction, to be detained and deported,&#8221; he said, trying to defend illegal aliens. &#8220;That includes minors, that includes Dreamers, that&#8217;s shoplifting a pack of bubble gum. There has to be more of a focus on a piece of legislation like this.&#8221;

A father, grandfather, and Michigan pastor died from his injuries after he was struck by a vehicle driven by an illegal immigrant earlier this month, and now his family is speaking out about the &#8220;senseless&#8221; killing.
Stephen Singleton, 72, was on one of his routine morning walks in Rochester Hills, Michigan, on November 3 when he was hit while crossing the street, ABC 7 <a href="https://www.wxyz.com/news/family-mourns-loss-of-72-year-old-pedestrian-hit-by-car-killed-in-rochester-hills" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. According to investigators, Singleton was wearing a reflective vest and was using the marked crosswalk when he was hit. Authorities do not believe speed or alcohol played a role in the deadly crash. One witness told ABC 7 that the driver ran a red light before hitting Singleton.
The Oakland County Sheriff&#8217;s Office said the driver of the vehicle is an illegal immigrant from Colombia. Michigan state law <a href="https://www.michigan.gov/-/media/Project/Websites/sos/10lawensn/Foreign_DL_countries_palm_card.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">allows</a> non-citizens to drive in the state as long as they have a foreign driver&#8217;s license that &#8220;is printed in English or accompanied with an English translation.&#8221;
According to Singleton&#8217;s family, the illegal immigrant suspect was released from custody after the crash.
&#8220;I had to sit and watch my husband of 53 years die in front of me and then to know that the person who did this is walking around is very difficult to deal with,&#8221; Singleton&#8217;s wife, Teri, said, according to <a href="https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/family-well-known-detroit-area-pastor-killed-crash-questions-why-suspect-was-released?taid=673ebacf04c1de0001975d25&amp;utm_campaign=trueanthem&amp;utm_medium=trueanthem&amp;utm_source=twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox 2</a>.
&#8220;He’s dead and they’re walking around. That’s bothering me,&#8221; Teri added.

Singleton&#8217;s family said the 72-year-old Michigan man was a dedicated servant and a former medic. He also volunteered his service at Ground Zero after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

&#8220;I started tearing because I couldn&#8217;t find survivors,&#8221; Singleton said during a 2022 interview about looking for survivors after the 9/11 attacks. &#8220;We would find people who were perished, but we couldn&#8217;t find survivors.&#8221;
Singleton&#8217;s daughter Ruth told ABC 7, “One day, I wake up and just know he&#8217;s gone for such a simple and senseless thing. I just don&#8217;t understand.&#8221;
&#8220;He was a loving person who cared about everybody,&#8221; said Teri. &#8220;I mean, the whole neighborhood, everybody in our community has come to my door. They didn’t even see the name on the report, but they knew him because of his habits.&#8221;

An illegal immigrant from <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/venezuela" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Venezuela</a> was convicted on Wednesday for the brutal murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, but a number of major media outlets left one key word — &#8220;illegal&#8221; — out of their coverage of the verdict.
After the defense opted for a bench trial rather than a jury trial, Judge H. Patrick Haggard found Jose Ibarra, 26, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-jose-ibarra-found-guilty-of-killing-georgia-nursing-student-laken-riley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">guilty on all ten counts</a> including &#8220;malice murder.&#8221; But despite the fact that Ibarra&#8217;s immigration status — he entered the country illegally in 2022 — is well known, it was left out of a number of reports.
John Hasson shared screenshots from The Washington Post, The Associated Press, and The New York Times where Ibarra was referred to as a &#8220;Venezuelan national,&#8221; a &#8220;man,&#8221; and a &#8220;Venezuelan migrant&#8221; respectively.
&#8220;[They] all refuse to describe Laken Riley&#8217;s murderer as an illegal immigrant,&#8221; Hasson noted. &#8220;Simply infuriating.&#8221;

In a follow-up post, the outlet raised the point that Riley&#8217;s death had sparked a national argument about illegal immigration — particularly under President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration — but did not go so far as to accurately label Ibarra an illegal immigrant.

Laken Riley's Killer Is Convicted, But Media Must Protect The Narrative

President-elect Donald Trump released a statement on Truth Social and X Wednesday afternoon after Laken Riley&#8217;s killer was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-jose-ibarra-found-guilty-of-killing-georgia-nursing-student-laken-riley?topStoryPosition=5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">convicted</a>.
Jose Ibarra, a 26-year-old Venezuelan with ties to the Tren de Aragua gang, was found guilty on 10 charges, including murder, kidnapping, and aggravated assault with intent to rape Riley. The illegal immigrant attacked and killed Riley while she was running at the University of Georgia campus in Athens on February 22, 2024. Trump said he hopes the conviction will &#8220;help bring some peace and closure to [Riley&#8217;s] wonderful family.&#8221;
&#8220;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,&#8221; Trump wrote. &#8220;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!&#8221;

Riley called 911 before she was kidnapped and murdered by Ibarra, but when the dispatcher answered, there was no response. During Ibarra&#8217;s trial, prosecutor Sheila Ross summarized the brutality of the illegal immigrant&#8217;s violence against the young woman.

Before holding a rally in Georgia in March, Trump met with Riley&#8217;s &#8220;beautiful mother and family backstage.&#8221; During his rally, Trump discussed Riley&#8217;s tragic death, <a href="https://www.donaldjtrump.com/news/679207dd-267f-4416-a2d7-41941d3f2e9e" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying</a>, &#8220;We vow to keep Laken&#8217;s memory alive for as long as we are here on this Earth and we take comfort that she is now home with God in Heaven.&#8221;
He also blasted the Biden administration&#8217;s border policies, saying, &#8220;Biden has implemented a formal policy that illegal aliens who intrude into the United States are granted immunity from deportation. Thus, when this monster showed up, at our border, he was set free immediately under the program that Crooked Joe created.&#8221;

Trump Responds To Jose Ibarra Conviction

The stepdad of murdered Georgia nursing student Laken Riley read one of her final journal entries in court after her illegal immigrant killer was convicted on Wednesday.
Venezuelan Jose Ibarra, 26, was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-jose-ibarra-found-guilty-of-killing-georgia-nursing-student-laken-riley?topStoryPosition=4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">found guilty</a> on 10 charges, including murder, kidnapping, and aggravated assault with intent to rape Riley. Riley, who was attending Augusta University, was killed by Ibarra while she was running near the campus of the University of Georgia on February 22, 2024.
Riley&#8217;s murder sparked outrage across the country over the Biden administration&#8217;s border policies, and during the trial, it was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/laken-rileys-alleged-illegal-immigrant-killer-was-flown-to-georgia-on-taxpayer-dime" target="_blank" rel="noopener">revealed</a> that Ibarra, who has ties to the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang, was flown to Georgia at the taxpayers&#8217; expense.
Shortly after the guilty verdict and before Ibarra&#8217;s sentencing, Riley&#8217;s stepdad read a journal entry the 22-year-old nursing had written on December 17, 2023, just two months before she was murdered.
Riley began the entry, &#8220;To my future husband, as silly as I feel writing this, my old small group leader once recommended it, and so here I am. To my future husband, I want you to know that I am thinking about you and working every day to become the best wife I can be and working through my current relationships to best prepare me for ours and our kids one day. I&#8217;m focusing on God and what he defines as a faithful Christian wife, and so that I can best embody those characteristics.&#8221;
&#8220;I pray that you know it is with my full faith and trust in God that I know this relationship has been handcrafted by him,&#8221; Riley added. &#8220;I pray that we continue to glorify the Lord and prioritize him in every aspect of our lives and raise our future family to be God-fearing Christians as well. And pray God is the center of our relationship as it is a gift from him. I thank him for you before I even know you and can&#8217;t wait to love you in the best way I know how for the rest of our lives.&#8221;

&#8220;I pray you know and feel the importance of my love and hopes for our relationship,&#8221; the journal entry continued. &#8220;No matter what challenges we face, I pray that our trust in God and love for one another overrules the obstacle. May our relationship last forever. Your future wife, Laken.&#8221;
