Trump Never Spoke to Murder Victim’s Family

April 2, 2024 · 10:50 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“Donald Trump used his campaign event in Michigan on Tuesday to denounce what he called ‘Biden’s border bloodbath,’ zeroing in on the case of a young woman killed by someone immigration officials say had entered the country illegally,” the Washington Post reports.

Said Trump of 25-year old Ruby Garcia: “She lit up that room, and I’ve heard that from so many people… I spoke to some of her family.”

“But Garcia’s sister, acting as a family spokeswoman, said Tuesday that Trump and his campaign have not contacted her or other immediate relatives — and rebuked the GOP presidential nominee’s effort to make the case part of his calls for a border crackdown.”
