“I’m hearing from some FBI sources that Jose Ibarra, accused of murdering Laken Riley near [the University of Georgia], was actually investigated by @FBIElPaso for “Assault on a Federal Officer.” (felony 18 USC 111 violation) He allegedly engaged in a physical assault against two officials from [DHS],” Seraphin reported.
“I’m being told the case against Ibarra was closed administratively. In my experience, that would mean the US Attorney for the Western District of Texas declined the prosecution,” he continued. “An email declination to pursue the case is enough for a closing on the FBI side.”
Seraphin also brought attention to the fact that after FBI referrals, federal prosecutors nominated by Biden routinely decide not to press charges against undocumented immigrants. This is a big change from the administration’s January 6 prosecution strategy, which carries multiple federal indictments and lengthy prison sentences for any assaults on Capitol Police personnel.
During his brief stay in the country, Ibarra racked up a substantial criminal record in addition to the documented federal inquiry. When he was arrested in August 2023 for operating an unregistered, uninsured automobile with a five-year-old passenger, the New York City Police Department verified his arrest. Charges included behaving harmfully against a kid and putting a youngster in risk.
Ibarra went to Georgia and worked as a dishwasher on the University of Georgia campus after being freed on bail. But he was caught once more for stealing, this time less than a month after coming to the Peach State.
ALERT! Major Water Restrictions In Effect!
Ibarra was not deported in spite of his lengthy criminal record and unauthorized status. This resulted from the fact that Athens, Georgia, and New York City are “sanctuary cities,” meaning local law enforcement is not allowed to work with federal immigration agents for the purpose of deportation.
