At a campaign event in Michigan on Tuesday, April 2, Donald Trump claimed he had spoken to the family of Ruby Garcia, who was reportedly killed by a friend of hers who was a migrant. The family says, “Trump did not speak with any of us.” https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1775319063436103937 From the Washington Post:
“She lit up that room, and I’ve heard that from so many people,” Trump said at a news conference in the hometown of the 25-year-old victim, Ruby Garcia. “I spoke to some of her family.”
But Garcia’s sister, acting as a family spokeswoman, said Tuesday that Trump and his campaign have not contacted her or other immediate relatives — and rebuked the GOP presidential nominee’s effort to make the case part of his calls for a border crackdown.
“It’s always been about illegal immigrants,” the victim’s sister, Mavi Garcia, told local news station Target 8. “Nobody really speaks about when Americans do heinous crimes, and it’s kind of shocking why he would just bring up illegals. What about Americans who do heinous crimes like that?”
