U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, along with other Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans, have demanded answers from DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas regarding the immigration parole status of Venezuelan national Jose Antonio Ibarra. Ibarra is the suspect charged in the murder of Augusta University student Laken Riley.
In a letter addressed to Secretary Mayorkas, the Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans expressed their concerns, stating, “We are deeply saddened by this senseless and preventable act of violence, and we write today demanding answers about how Ibarra was allowed to enter and remain in the United States.” They further requested, “We demand that you show us your work. No later than March 8th, please provide us with a copy of the case file for Jose Antonio Ibarra, including the record showing what urgent humanitarian reason or significant public benefit justified the decision to grant him parole.”
The release of the full text of the letter signifies the seriousness with which the Senate Judiciary GOP is approaching this issue and their commitment to seeking transparency and accountability in the matter.
