Former President Donald Trump met with Laken Riley’s family before he made an appearance at a Georgia rally.
On Saturday, Trump held a rally in Rome, Georgia, where he met with Riley’s family before speaking with the large attending crowd of supporters.
“I met her beautiful mother and family backstage,” Trump told the crowd in Rome. “They said she was the best. She was always the best for us. They admit that she was the best, and she was the first in her class. She was going to be the best nurse. She was the best nursing student. She was always the best. She was the brightest light in every room, they told me. She was the whole world to her parents, to her sister, and just to the whole family.”
Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student who had been attending school in Georgia, was reportedly jogging on February 22nd when she was fatally attacked by an illegal immigrant from Venezuela.
Trump blamed Biden’s open border policies for Riley’s death, explaining that the current Democrat president has been allowing undocumented immigrants from a wide range of countries, even some third world countries, to easily enter the United States illegally.
“Biden has implemented a formal policy that illegal aliens who intrude into the United States are granted immunity from deportation,” Trump said. “Thus, when this monster showed up at our border, he was set free immediately under the program. That crooked Joe created it.”
Trump added that he was “profoundly honored” to have Riley’s family and friends at the rally.
“They’re so incredible,” he continued. “The hearts of hundreds of thousands, and indeed millions and millions of Americans and people worldwide, are shattered alongside your beautiful hearts. We share your grief. We share your grief. Thank you, darling. Thank you. Thank you very much. We appreciate it.”
In his aggressive attack on Trump during his annual speech on Thursday, Biden only mentioned Laken Riley in his address after immense pressure from Republicans.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene [R-SC] gave the president a pin with Riley’s name on it, and after he was repeatedly heckled during the speech and demanded that he say Riley’s name, the president said, “I know how to say her name.”
“Lincoln—LLLincoln Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal,” Biden said, both botching her name and using a term considered politically incorrect by most Democratic officeholders.
Biden later apologized on Saturday for referring to the alleged murderer, who entered the nation illegally from Venezuela, as “illegal.” However, Biden never apologized for mispronouncing Riley’s name.
26-year-old Jose Antonio Ibarra, a citizen of Venezuela who entered the country illegally in 2022 during Biden’s reign in office, is being held without bond on counts of kidnapping, felony murder, malice murder, aggravated battery, and other offenses connected to Riley’s death.

Why did Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene present President Biden with a pin bearing Riley’s name
Former President Donald Trump met with the family of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student who was tragically killed by an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, before speaking at a rally in Rome, Georgia. Trump blamed President Biden’s open border policies for Riley’s death, asserting that undocumented immigrants from various countries, including third world nations, are easily entering the United States illegally. He criticized Biden for implementing a policy that grants immunity from deportation to illegal aliens who intrude into the country.
During his rally speech, Trump spoke highly of Riley, describing her as “the best” and emphasizing her potential as a nurse. He expressed his gratitude for having Riley’s family and friends present at the rally, acknowledging the grief they are experiencing. Trump condemned Biden for creating a program that allows criminals like Riley’s murderer to be released immediately upon reaching the border.
In response to pressure from Republicans, Biden mentioned Laken Riley in his annual speech, but he stumbled over her name and used a term considered politically incorrect. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene presented the president with a pin bearing Riley’s name, prompting him to acknowledge her in his address.
The meeting between Trump and Riley’s family highlights the political debate surrounding immigration policies and their consequences. Trump remains committed to advocating for strong border security measures, while Biden faces criticism for his administration’s perceived leniency towards illegal immigration. The tragic loss of Laken Riley serves as a painful reminder of the potential dangers posed by weak immigration policies.
