Violent and sexual crimes perpetrated by illegal immigrants have received substantially more attention nationwide after a young college student in Georgia, Laken Riley, was raped and murdered by a Venezuelan man in the United States illegally while on a morning run.
Upon Mendoza’s case being completed in Alabama, he will be deported.
