A Texas congressman grilled AG Merrick Garland during a House hearing regarding oversight of the Justice Department.
U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, on Tuesday grilled Attorney General Merrick Garland over the Justice Department's lawsuit against Texas to stop the state from enforcing border security measures. Garland was testifying before the GOP-led House Judiciary Committee during the panel's annual oversight hearing when he was asked about the court being waged against the Lone Star state.
What we have is a continued effort by the federal government to fail to secure the border of the United States and Americans are dying or getting shot… two young women are dead,' Roy said. 'Do you believe that Texas has a right to defend itself and to ensure that people who are in this country are not here illegally?' As attorney general, Garland said his heart goes out to the families of those killed by illegal immigrants.
Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student at Augusta University in Georgia, was attacked in February while on a run. The alleged killer, Jose Ibarra, 26, who is from Venezuela, illegally crossed into the U.S. through El Paso, Texas, in September 2022, and was released via parole.
