It is tragic that this person was put in a position where she lost her life for no reason other than to serve the vanity of a man determined to establish dominance over a city that hates him

JD Vance repeatedly lied, calling legal immigrants "illegal" during the campaign. He did this, because he knew that voters would balk at a plan to deport legal immigrants.
Polls repeatedly show most Americans support robust legal immigration. So Trump et all lied.

Vance says Haitian migrants with protected status are 'illegal aliens' to be deported

The reality, of course, is that Miller and a significant portion of Trump’s base are the ones who failed to assimilate to America’s post-WWII culture of multi-racial democracy & religious pluralism…and they are now using their power to destroy that once dominant (and still popular) American culture.

Trump makes the outrageous claim that “most” immigrants, which include over 25 million U.S. citizens, “are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.”
