A six-mile shooting spree in Tennessee has drawn fresh attention to the Harris-Biden administration’s immigration policies after it was revealed that suspect Edixon Murillo-Antunez is in the U.S. illegally. Murillo-Antunez was arrested without incident on Wednesday after the rampage, which left two juveniles injured and multiple vehicles damaged by gunfire. He faces charges ranging from attempted homicide to felony reckless endangerment.
Court records show that Murillo-Antunez is on an ICE detainer, raising serious concerns about how an illegal immigrant managed to carry out such a violent act. Many critics have pointed to this incident as yet another failure of the administration’s border security policies, which have been under fire for allowing millions of migrants to cross into the country with minimal oversight.
Republicans have been quick to criticize Kamala Harris, who was tasked with addressing the root causes of immigration early in the Biden presidency but has made little visible progress. RNC Research took to social media, highlighting that this violence is happening “BECAUSE of Kamala Harris” and her inability to enforce strict border measures.
The Tennessee incident adds to a growing list of violent crimes linked to illegal immigrants, further fueling frustrations with the Harris-Biden administration. As Murillo-Antunez’s case progresses, the American public is left questioning the effectiveness of the current immigration policies and the safety risks they pose.
