What we know: Trump uses death of Michigan woman to stoke fears over immigration
Donald Trump traveled to Michigan and Wisconsin and used the recent death of a 25-year-old Michigan woman killed by a man that immigration officials say entered the country illegally to hammer President Joe Biden over his handling of the U.S.-Mexico border
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — During campaign events in Michigan and Wisconsin on Tuesday, Donald Trump used the recent death of a Grand Rapids woman killed by a man that immigration officials say entered the country illegally to amplify his inflammatory rhetoric on the campaign trail accusing President Joe Biden of causing a “bloodbath” at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Immigration has emerged as the focal point of Trump’s reelection campaign. He frequently highlights incidents involving immigrants to fuel concerns about Biden’s border policies and on Tuesday attempted to tie Garcia's death to that of Laken Riley, a Georgia nursing student who officials say was killed by a man who entered the U.S. illegally.
While authorities believe Riley’s death was random, Garcia’s case is different.
