Get ready for saturation coverage: Venezuelan migrant being held in Loyola student murder [View all]
Right wing boards are lighting up with this story.
Early Thursday morning a masked man approached a group of Loyola students in Chicago and fired on them, hitting a young woman and Loyola freshman and killing her.
Police have arrested somebody in this random attack. Apparently, according to a number of right wing boards, the suspect is a Venezuelan migrant who was arrested in 2023 and then released, and has been absent from court since that time, with live warrants.
I'm not linking to right wing sources, but I'm acknowledging that the sources reporting on this now are mostly right wing, like Substance News, CWB Chicago, and Fox and Friends. This is pretty much the ideal suspect for this vicious crime from a Stephen Miller perspective, and that it took place in Chicago is extra gravy for the MAGA immigration narratives.
It's going to rule the week, and might be the GOP rallying cry for the midterms if true.
Heads up.
