Today is the one year anniversary of President Trump signing the Laken Riley Act into law. Laken Riley was a 22-year-old nursing student who was brutally murdered in Georgia by a criminal from Venezuela who had entered the country illegally under Joe Biden. Republicans in Congress championed the Laken Riley Act to help ensure tragedies like Laken’s murder never happen again.
But radical Roy Cooper would have joined his fellow Democrats and voted against the common-sense measure in the U.S. Senate.
“Roy Cooper’s soft-on-crime policies consistently put illegals and repeat offenders above North Carolinians’ safety. As Governor, he championed radical Democrat policies that got innocent women murdered, and he would do the same in the U.S. Senate,” said NRSC Regional Press Secretary Nick Puglia.
Radical Roy puts illegals first. Cooper:
- Vetoed three pieces of legislation requiring North Carolina sheriffs to cooperate with ICE, embracing dangerous sanctuary policies that harbor criminal illegals and make North Carolinians less safe.
- Allowed nearly 500 illegals back onto the streets thanks to his soft-on-crime policies, including those charged with rape and murder.
- Was successfully lobbied by an anti-ICE group with dark money ties to veto legislation requiring sheriffs to cooperate with federal law enforcement.
- Called President Trump’s border wall “unnecessary.”
