Father of Laken Riley Criticizes Politicization of Daughter's Death

Jason Riley speaks out against the use of his slain daughter's case in the immigration policy debate, emphasizing her value beyond political agendas.

Jason Riley, the father of slain nursing student Laken Riley, criticizes the politicization of his daughter's death, expressing frustration over it being used for political agendas.
Laken Riley was killed while jogging on the University of Georgia campus, with her suspected killer, Jose Ibarra, a Venezuelan migrant who entered the U.S. illegally, fueling debate over immigration policies.
Republicans have invoked Laken Riley's murder as evidence of the need for stricter immigration policies, while Democrats criticize the use of such tragedies for political gain.
Jason Riley supports former President Donald Trump and acknowledges the need for discussions on border security but wishes his daughter's death was not so politicized.
Laken Riley's death has led to legislative actions, including a bill named after her aimed at tightening immigration enforcement.
