A taxpayer-funded initiative by the Biden-Harris regime facilitated the transit of a known gang member, leading directly to the murder of 22-year-old University of Georgia student Laken Riley, according to courtroom testimony of the suspect’s roommate during the second trial.
Laken Riley, an aspiring nurse from Augusta University, tragically fell victim to a brutal attack by Jose Ibarra, a 26-year-old illegal immigrant from Venezuela and alleged member of the notorious Tren de Aragua gang.
According to court documents, Jose Ibarra not only killed Riley but also “disfigured her skull” in an act of unimaginable violence.
Ibarra’s criminal history includes being a “peeping Tom,” as detailed in the indictment, which accused him of spying on a university staff member on the same day as the murder.
Joe Biden hesitated even to say Laken Riley’s name, and he apologized for calling her killer an “illegal immigrant.”
Ibarra entered the U.S. illegally under the Biden administration’s lax border policies.
The illegal from Venezuela was indicted on 10 counts, and his trial is underway.
During the first trial, the horrific 911 call Laken placed while fighting for her life was played in court as the accused sat emotionless.
Prosecutors revealed that Laken fought for her life for 18 minutes before Ibarra allegedly smashed her head in with a rock and then asphyxiated her after she fought off his sexual attack.
During Monday’s trial, Ibarra’s ex-roommate, Rosebeli Flores-Bello, testified in court that they requested the flight from a migrant intake center at Manhattan’s Roosevelt Hotel, a facility overwhelmed by the consequences of the administration’s border mismanagement.
According to Bello, they were flown from New York City to Georgia on a flight funded by federal taxpayer dollars in September 2023, merely months before he committed the heinous act.
The flight was part of a controversial program set up by the Biden-Harris regime, ostensibly to help migrants relocate.
As reported by Far-left NYT:
A former roommate of Mr. Ibarra’s testified that she met Mr. Ibarra last year in New York City and traveled with him to Athens in September 2023 after Mr. Ibarra’s brother told them they could find jobs there.
They lived for a while with Mr. Ibarra’s wife and mother-in-law at a Crowne Plaza hotel in Queens that had been converted to a migrant shelter, the roommate, Rosbeli Flores-Bello, said. And for a few weeks, she added, she and Mr. Ibarra lived in a car parked on the street by the hotel.
Ms. Flores-Bello said that Mr. Ibarra’s brother Diego had constantly called him in New York, telling him to move to Athens because there were good work opportunities.
In early September last year, Ms. Flores testified, she and Mr. Ibarra asked for plane tickets to Atlanta at the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan, which had become New York City’s official welcome center for migrants. Through a process known as “reticketing,” the city has paid for the travel of tens of thousands of migrants who wish to move elsewhere.
They flew to Atlanta on Sept. 28 and moved into the apartment in Athens where, five months later, Ms. Flores-Bello would awake to police officers coming to arrest her roommate on a murder charge.
New York City officials attempted to deflect responsibility, with a representative for Mayor Eric Adams acknowledging the “gut-wrenching tragedy” of Riley’s death while blaming the “broken immigration system” for the crisis.
