🚨 A shocking email exchange reveals troubling priorities of Athens Mayor and Clarke County Sheriff only two days after Laken Riley's murder. 🧵 (1/5)
Obtained through Georgia Open Records Act, the exchange on February 24, 2024, shows Sheriff Williams questioning Mayor Girtz about the county's sanctuary status, as he is unaware.
Sheriff Williams seems to care more about the PR than anything else. (2/5)
Mayor Girtz's response is even worse, endorsing non-cooperation policies with ICE and minimizing the seriousness of illegal immigration.
He defends the subversion of federal authority by essentially saying, American citizens are worse anyways, so let the illegals go. (3/5)
Instead of prioritizing solutions to prevent tragedies like this in the future, Mayor Girtz treats Laken Riley's murder as a PR drill to be managed with "comfort and unity" rather than enforcing the law. (4/5)
The blatant disregard of law and order by public officials is highly concerning. It reveals the need for accountability and new leadership that will prioritize public safety.
Laken's death was preventable, but nothing will change with leaders like these. (5/5)
