Remember Mollie Tibbetts?
Prosecutor says trial in Iowa student’s death won’t be easy
A prosecutor warned prospective jurors Monday that the trial of a Mexican national charged in the 2018 fatal stabbing of a University of Iowa student will include graphic evidence that will be emotionally difficult to see and hear.
Prosecutor Scott Brown said the first-degree murder trial of Cristhian Bahena Rivera will feature photos and testimony about the stab wounds 20-year-old Mollie Tibbetts suffered after going for a run.
“We’re going to talk about the violent death of a young girl, Mollie Tibbetts,†said Brown, an assistant Iowa attorney general, said during jury selection at an events center in Davenport, where lawyers began working to whittle down a 183-person pool to 12 jurors and three alternates. “It’s not going to be pleasant.â€
Rivera was in the country illegally. AOC and the other nuts want people like him to stay in the country
AOC, dozens of House Dems cite ‘racial reckoning’ to oppose targeting gang members for deportation
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., led a group of her House Democratic colleagues in a letter to federal immigration officials demanding an overhaul of immigration policies and objecting to gang members in the country illegally being targeted for deportation.
Ocasio-Cortez and 34 of her Democratic colleagues sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) director Tae Johnson, calling on them to change immigration policies that rely on the US’s “discriminatory legal system.”
The lawmakers claim an interim enforcement memo issued by ICE “does not adequately protect the liberty interests of asylum seekers” and presumes an illegal migrant — including those convicted of aggravated felonies —to be a “border security and enforcement and removal priority.”
“This blanket presumption will effectively mean detaining an untold number of people who have fled persecution,” the lawmakers wrote.
Additionally, the letter claims the “definition of an aggravated felony” is a “relic of the racist War on Drugs” and that the “category has been interpreted to include many state drug misdemeanors.”
“‘Aggravated felonies’ as a category have been designed to ensure that people have as few rights as possible to fight detention and deportation,” Ocasio-Cortez and her colleagues wrote.
These people are insane. Purely insane. First it was “we’ll keep the good illegals, those without crimes.” Then it was about keeping ones with misdemeanors, like DUIs, lots of tickets, driving without a license, minor drug crimes. Now they’ve flipped to people who are gang members, drug dealers, arsonists, sexual predators, child abusers, killers.
Good question: why the heck isn’t the GOP using this, running commercials and such? I’m seriously doubting most Americans approve of this position.
