Michigan columnist warns Republicans will 'seize' on alleged illegal immigrant murders in critical swing state
Fox News
Detroit News politics editor Chad Livengood said Republicans have "found the crime they were seeking" with illegal migrant Brandon Ortiz-Vite being charged with murder.
"Whereas abortion rights galvanized soccer moms in 2022 to vote for Democrats, Republicans are banking on immigrant crime as the issue that will motivate so-called security moms this fall to come back to the GOP," Livengood wrote.

He wrote that the details of the crime "read like a campaign ad Republican political consultants have been waiting to produce." He also noted that Garcia’s death marked the second recent murder allegedly committed by an illegal migrant in the past year, the first being Mexican national Luis Fabian Bernal-Sosa who was found guilty of the murder of Lisa Gomez in February.
