‘No, No’: Chip Roy Chews Out Merrick Garland Over Illegal Immigrants Allegedly Murdering Americans

Republican Texas Rep. Chip Roy berated Attorney General Merrick Garland Tuesday over illegal immigrants allegedly murdering Americans under President Joe Biden’s administration.

The Department of Justice has filed lawsuits against three red states, including Texas, for enacting laws that empower police to enforce 🛂Immigration rules. Roy asked Garland during a House Judiciary Committee hearing if Texas has a right to defend itself against illegal immigrants, especially in light of alleged murders committed by them, with the representative showing pictures of the victims.

“There’s a number of people here that I want to see if you can identify who they are,” Roy said. “What we have here in the bottom corner is a woman named Lizbeth Medina. She was found dead in a bathtub in Texas. Her mom found her, hoping to see her in a parade that night. She was killed by Rafael Romero, who was here illegally. On the bottom left, you have Laken Riley. She was killed by 26-year-old Jose Ibarra, arrested by U.S. customs and border protection after he unlawfully entered the United States near El Paso, Texas.”

“Up above, you have officers Richard Yarusso, 26 and officer Christopher Abreu, 26. Both were shot this last weekend by Bernardo Raul Castro Mato, a 19-year-old Venezuelan national apprehended by U.S. border patrol after he unlawfully entered the United States near Eagle Pass in July of 2023,” Roy added.
