Trump Blames Biden for Tragic Death, Victim's Sister Refutes Claim
April 3, 2024Former President Donald Trump leveraged the death of Ruby Garcia to criticize President Joe Biden's immigration policies at a Michigan campaign event.
Trump claimed to have conversed with the Garcia family, a statement contested by Ruby's sister Mavi Garcia, who asserted there was no such communication.
The suspect in the case had been previously deported in 2020 and illegally re-entered the U.S. during the current administration, with specifics on timing and location remaining unclear.
Mavi Garcia condemned the use of her sister's tragedy for political purposes, urging a broader focus on addressing all serious crimes, not solely those involving illegal immigrants.
The incident fuels the ongoing debate regarding Trump's polarizing rhetoric and his stance on immigration issues.
