Progressive Democrats are unhappy with President Joe Biden for describing the person allegedly behind the murder of a college student as an “illegal.”

Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student at the University of Georgia, was allegedly murdered on Feb. 22 by 26-year-old Jose Ibarra, who entered the United States from Venezuela illegally.
