Authorities are delving deeper into the background of the illegal immigrant accused of the tragic murder of Laken Reilly. Reports reveal that the suspect was previously arrested in New York City before relocating to Georgia, raising concerns about border security.
The suspect, Jose Antonio Ubarra, had a prior arrest in New York City on child endangerment charges. Despite this, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was unable to issue a detainer due to his swift release in the sanctuary city.
Investigations indicate that Ubarra entered the United States illegally through the southern border in Texas in September 2022. Upon entry, he was released on parole, allowing him to remain in the country until his court date, which could be delayed significantly due to court backlogs.
Tragically, Ubarra now faces murder charges for the death of a University of Georgia student. The incident has sparked calls for President Joe Biden to address border security issues and prevent similar tragedies in the future.
Recent footage from Eagle Pass, Texas, captured migrants crossing the Rio Grande, highlighting ongoing border challenges. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has implemented razor wire barriers in the area to deter illegal crossings, emphasizing the need for federal action to secure the border.
