Trump to Address “Biden’s Border Bloodbath” in Grand Rapids, Michigan Speech Days After Previously Deported Illegal Alien Was Charged in Murder of Young Woman, Ruby Garcia
President Trump will address “Biden’s Border Bloodbath” in a speech Tuesday afternoon at the Grand Rapids Convention Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The speech comes days after an illegal alien from Mexico who had been deported by the Trump administration in 2020 was charged in the March 22 murder of 25-year-old Ruby Garcia whose bullet-riddled body was found dumped on a Grand Rapids highway.
Garcia worked for a local greenhouse according to her sister, Mavi Garcia, reported WXMI-TV (excerpt):
Garcia says Ruby worked in quality control at a local greenhouse. She leaves behind two brothers too.
“She was a great daughter, sister, aunt and friend,” said Garcia. “She will be remembered as being full of life and laughter. Those who were around her [knew] she was silly and made everyone laugh. Her loss has impacted the lives of many people. Her life was taken too soon. She deserved to live life, travel the world, have kids and follow her dreams.”
Earlier in March, Trump met with the family of 22-year-old Laken Riley, the University of Georgia nursing student who was attacked and beaten to death on February 22 while she was out for a run on campus. An illegal alien from Venezuela has been charged in her murder.

President Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, will deliver Remarks on Biden’s Border Bloodbath in Grand Rapids, Michigan on Tuesday, April 2, 2024, at 2:30PM EDT.
Rep. Hillary Scholten (D-MI) called Trump’s planned speech in Grand Rapids “horrific” and pushed for passage of the Senate border bill that has been rejected by House Republicans as too lax on securing the border, “Republicans are literally pushing each other out of the way to get in front of a camera and exploit the tragic death of Ruby Garcia. It’s horrific. Justice for Ruby Garcia means solutions, not political theater. I won’t stop until we pass our bipartisan border bill.”

Trump’s figurative use of the word ‘bloodbath’ while talking about the effects of foreign trade policy on the U.S. auto industry at a rally in Dayton, Ohio on March 16 provoked outrageous smears from liberals and reporters who took his remarks out of context. Trump posted a video rebuking the smears and talking about the quite literal “Biden’s Border Bloodbath.”
