Report: Feds Silent on ‘Humanitarian Flight’ Laken Riley’s Killer Got From NYC to Georgia

/0 Comments/in , /by

Federal officials are reportedly not saying anything regarding a “humanitarian flight” convicted killer Jose Ibarra, an illegal alien, was given in 2023.

Fox News reported on Sunday that officials would not give the outlet more information about the flight Ibarra, who was recently convicted of murdering 22-year-old Laken Riley, received from New York City to Atlanta, Georgia.

Riley, who was a nursing student, was killed in Athens, Georgia, on February 22 by Ibarra after he stalked her as she jogged that morning on the University of Georgia (UGA) campus, Breitbart News reported Wednesday.

During Ibarra’s trial on Monday, prosecutors showed an image of Ibarra’s Delta Air Lines ticket going from New York to Atlanta, which was dated September 28, 2023. The Fox article continued:

FBI Special Agent Jamie Hipkiss said a photo of the boarding pass was pulled from a WhatsApp account associated with Ibarra.

Ibarra’s former roommate, Rosbeli Flores-Bello, testified on Monday that she and Ibarra — both Venezuelan nationals who connected in Queens, New York, in 2023 after meeting through a mother-in-law — went to the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan in September of that year to request a “humanitarian flight” to Atlanta. Ibarra’s brother, Diego, promised they would find work in Athens, Georgia.

CNN Refuses to Air State of the Union Ad Blaming Biden for Murder of Laken Riley (VIDEO)

/4 Comments/in , , /by

CNN refused to air a conservative group’s State of the Union ad that blamed President Joe Biden for the murder of 22-year-old Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, who was killed by an illegal immigrant.

Building America’s Future said Friday that major media networks, including Fox News, MSNBC, and Newsmax, all accepted the ad. CNN ultimately rejected it, however.

“CNN and Joe Biden are in lockstep once again: they won’t even #sayhername,” Building America’s Future advisor Phil Cox said in a statement provided to National Review.

“It is shameful that CNN is censoring the truth and trying to protect President Biden by refusing to air this ad,” Cox added. “The American people understand that Biden’s open borders agenda is responsible for the death of Laken Riley. Building America’s Future won’t be deterred when it comes to the important work of informing the public on how we are all less safe in Joe Biden’s America.”

The news was first shared by Fox News commentator Guy Benson on X: “I am told that CNN is refusing to air this. They ran out the clock on a pre-SOTU ad buy — then rejected it, calling several of its claims unsubstantiated. Fox and MSNBC aired it.”

In response to National Review’s request for comment, a CNN spokesperson confirmed that the ad failed to meet the network’s commercial clearance guidelines and policies because its claims were unsubstantiated.

House Speaker Blasts Biden as an ‘Embarrassment’ for Apology to Laken Riley Murder Suspect

/3 Comments/in , /by

House Speaker Mike Johnson blasted President Biden as an “embarrassment” for seemingly apologizing to Laken Riley’s accused killer instead of to the slain student’s family.

“The president is cowering to his base and showing deference to a man who deserves none. This man is an illegal immigrant who brutally murdered Laken Riley. President Biden should be apologizing to Laken’s family. What an embarrassment,” Johnson wrote on X on Sunday, responding to Biden’s interview with MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart that aired Saturday.

At the urging of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., Biden, during an off-script moment in his State of the Union address on Thursday, decried Riley’s killing by “an illegal.” The president later backtracked during his interview with Capehart, saying he should have instead used the word “undocumented” to describe Jose Ibarra, a Venezuelan national charged with murdering Riley, an Augusta University nursing student who was out for a run on the University of Georgia campus last month.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed that Ibarra illegally crossed the border near El Paso, Texas, and was released into the U.S. for further processing in September 2022.

He was later arrested and released in New York City for allegedly endangering a child about a year later. (Read more from “House Speaker Blasts Biden as an ‘Embarrassment’ for Apology to Laken Riley Murder Suspect” HERE)

Joe Biden Delivers Third and Possibly Final State of the Union Address; Botches Name of Migrant-Murdered ‘Lincoln’ Riley in Trump-Bashing Speech

/0 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. President Biden stunned listeners Thursday as he veered from his highly partisan State of the Union address script to call out Georgia nursing student Laken Riley’s murder last month by an illegal immigrant — erring twice by calling her “Lincoln.”

Biden, 81, began his campaign-style speech by highlighting his best-polling positions — railing against former President Donald Trump on issues such as abortion, NATO and the Capitol riot — but was derailed by persistent Republican heckling, finally responding to their demands that he say Riley’s name hours after the House passed legislation in her honor to require migrants who commit certain crimes be sent to federal custody.

The president then held up a pin bearing Riley’s name, which Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) had handed him on his way into the chamber, with Biden telling the congresswoman, “I know how to say her name.”

“Lincoln — Lincoln Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal,” Biden said, both botching her name and using a term considered politically incorrect by most Democratic officeholders.

“That’s right, but how many of the thousands of people being killed by illegals —” he began as Greene interrupted him with continued heckling over his border policies.

The president did not correct himself after botching Rliey’s name before adding: “To her parents, I say my heart goes out to you. Having lost children myself, I understand.” (Read more from “Biden Botches Name of Migrant-Murdered ‘Lincoln’ Riley in Trump-Bashing State of the Union Speech” HERE)

Joe Biden Delivers Third and Possibly Final State of the Union Address

By Breitbart. . .Biden has finally finished this travesty of a partisan hit job speech. Even Jake Tapper on CNN says he has “never heard” a State of the Union with so many partisan attacks on the president’s leading political opponent.

. . .Biden is leading the charge for gun control. More extreme partisanship from Biden. He’s also now attacking “my predecessor” again repeatedly. This is amazing to watch a president yell at his predecessor and general election opponent this year in an election year State of the Union address.

Biden then calls for an “assault weapons ban” and then lies by claiming “none of this violates the Second Amendment.” . . .

Now, Biden is lying claiming the Lankford immigration and foreign aid plan would have helped solve the border crisis. These lies draw a seriously harsh response from the Republicans in the chamber who boo him, derailing the president off his planned remarks.

Biden is straight up lying now about Republicans on Social Security, falsely claiming that the GOP wants to cut Social Security. Trump has made clear that he wants to protect Social Security. (Read more from “Joe Biden Delivers Third and Possibly Final State of the Union Address” HERE)

Biden Ignores Questions on Laken Riley’s Murder During Border Visit (VIDEO)

/2 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden ignored questions regarding the murder of 22-year-old Laken Riley, allegedly at the hands of an illegal alien released into the United States, while speaking to the media in Brownsville, Texas, near the southern border.

On Thursday, Biden spoke alongside Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas at a Border Patrol station in Brownsville, mostly about the record-setting illegal immigration that has occurred on their watch.

When the press conference ended, a reporter asked Biden, “Mr. President, do you bear any responsibility for Laken Riley’s death?” Biden did not turn around to address the question and instead continued shaking hands with officials.

In contrast, presumptive GOP presidential nominee former President Donald Trump revealed that he has spoken with Riley’s parents, whom he called “incredible people.” (Read more from “Biden Ignores Questions on Laken Riley’s Murder During Border Visit” HERE)
