The father of a student who was killed has called on Georgia’s governor to declare an "invasion to detain and deport criminal illegals."

Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student was killed last month in Athens, Georgia while she was jogging.

A Venezuelan man, Jose Antonio Ibarra, who authorities say entered the US illegally has been charged with her murder.


In a speech before the Georgia State Senate Jason Riley called on Governor Brian Kemp to "do more to protect us" following the death of his daughter.





Jason Riley told the hearing: "I stand before you, a heartbroken man...Part of my purpose has been taken. God gave me a beautiful daughter to father, protect, provide for and nurture. A man with an evil heart stole her life. He was in this country and in this state illegally.

My vision for every senator in this chamber is that you protect citizens from this illegal invasion...please recognise over a million illegal aliens are in this state and making families nervous."

New York Post reports that Ibarra, 26, who entered the US illegally through the southern border two years ago, has been charged with felony murder, aggravated assault and battery, kidnapping, and false imprisonment.


It comes just days after Jason Riley told NBC News that he had been left feeling "angry" accusing both sides of the political debate that his daughter's death was being politicised.
