Trump set to criticize Biden’s border policies at Michigan rally

Former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, will hold a rally in Michigan on Tuesday afternoon in which he is expected to focus on immigration.

Trump will travel to Grand Rapids and speak specifically on what his campaign is calling “Biden’s border bloodbath,” a trip that follows an incident last month in which an illegal immigrant who came across the southern border was arrested on charges of murder.

“Joe Biden’s Violent Criminal Illegals are invading backyards and communities across Michigan resulting in death, destruction, and chaos,” Trump’s campaign website states.

Trump’s visit comes 10 days after Grand Rapids resident Ruby Garcia, 25, was murdered. Her boyfriend, Brandon Ortiz-Vite, a 25-year-old illegal immigrant from Mexico, has been arrested as the primary suspect in her death and was arraigned in court last Tuesday. Ortiz-Vite faces charges of felony murder, open murder, carjacking, carrying a concealed weapon, and felony firearm.

Trump has increasingly focused his messaging on crimes committed by illegal immigrants in the United States, blaming them on President Joe Biden’s immigration policies.

While visiting the border town of Eagle Pass, Texas, last month, Trump drew attention to the murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, whose suspected killer is an illegal immigrant from Venezuela.

Trump will depart Grand Rapids immediately after the rally and travel to Green Bay, Wisconsin, for a second rally on Tuesday evening.
