Bing       fucked them over keeping the old headline.              "Killing of Mollie Tibbetts in Iowa Inflames Immigration Debate"              BROOKLYN, Iowa — Television cameras had for weeks swarmed this       small town in Iowa farm country as the police looked for Mollie       Tibbetts, the college student who went for a jog last month and       never returned home.              After hundreds of tips and interviews, and after countless       prayer vigils and donations to a reward fund, investigators got       a tragic break in their case on Tuesday. A body believed to be       Ms. Tibbetts’s was found buried beneath cornstalks on a farm       outside town. The authorities charged Cristhian Rivera, who they       said is an undocumented immigrant from Mexico, with first-degree       murder in her death.              President Trump and other conservatives quickly cited the arrest       of Mr. Rivera, who worked on a farm owned by a prominent       Republican family, as proof of the flawed immigration system and       lax border security the president has long warned about.              Iowa’s Republican governor, Kim Reynolds, released a statement       saying she was “angry that a broken immigration system allowed a       predator like this to live in our community.” And the White       House Twitter account posted a video with the emotional accounts       of people whose family members had been killed by immigrants who       entered the country illegally.              “Mollie Tibbetts, an incredible young woman, is now permanently       separated from her family,” Mr. Trump said Wednesday evening in       a Twitter message, a clear reference to his much criticized       policy that tried to deter illegal border crossings by       separating migrant families.              “A person came in from Mexico illegally and killed her. We need       the wall, we need our immigration laws changed, we need our       border laws changed, we need Republicans to do it because the       Democrats aren’t going to do it,” he said.                            Donald J. Trump       ?       @realDonaldTrump       3:24 PM - Aug 22, 2018       27.4K       17.3K people are talking about this              Mr. Rivera’s lawyer, Allan M. Richards, disputed the       government’s claims that his client was in the country illegally       and said Mr. Trump’s comments highlighting his immigration       status could prejudice future jurors. Mr. Richards said his       client, who was ordered held on $5 million cash bond during a       brief court appearance on Wednesday, came to the United States       at age 17, had the equivalent of a middle school education and       had worked for years tending to dairy cows.              “For sad and sorry Trump to say that they’re illegal without       even giving them a hearing is totally wrong,” Mr. Richards said       in an interview after the court hearing.              Mr. Rivera’s arrest was a lead story for much of Tuesday evening       and Wednesday on several conservative-leaning news websites, and       was touted as a boost to the Trump administration’s argument for       a more hard-line stance on immigration. The arrest came in the       same week that an undocumented immigrant from Mexico was charged       with second-degree murder in a Minnesota case.              Mr. Trump is expected to continue to push immigration as a       signature issue in courting voters ahead of November’s midterm       elections. In Iowa, Republicans are defending two congressional       seats that Democrats have high hopes of winning, and Governor       Reynolds is seeking a full term in her post.              The discovery of Ms. Tibbetts’s body devastated her hometown,       Brooklyn, where she had returned for the summer after studying       psychology at the University of Iowa. After weeks of anxiously       awaiting news, some residents said Wednesday that they were       frustrated to learn that the suspect in her death was in the       country illegally.              “Mollie would still be alive today if we would just enforce the       laws we already have in place,” said Kerry Traver, 73, who lives       in nearby Marengo. “Here illegally and nobody’s doing anything       about it.”              Rusty Clayton, owner of True Value Hardware in Brooklyn, said       customers in the small town — where doors are seldom locked —       have been coming in to have house keys made ever since news       broke that Ms. Tibbetts was missing. But he said the town views       its Hispanic residents not as outsiders, but as members of the       community.              “Their kids go to our school,” Mr. Clayton said. “One was       homecoming king, and another of the students has been              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
