"Killing of Mollie Tibbetts in Iowa Inflames Immigration Debate"
BROOKLYN, Iowa — Television cameras had for weeks swarmed this
small town in Iowa farm country as the police looked for Mollie
Tibbetts, the college student who went for a jog last month and
never returned home.
After hundreds of tips and interviews, and after countless
prayer vigils and donations to a reward fund, investigators got
a tragic break in their case on Tuesday. A body believed to be
Ms. Tibbetts’s was found buried beneath cornstalks on a farm
outside town. The authorities charged Cristhian Rivera, who they
said is an undocumented immigrant from Mexico, with first-degree
murder in her death.
President Trump and other conservatives quickly cited the arrest
of Mr. Rivera, who worked on a farm owned by a prominent
Republican family, as proof of the flawed immigration system and
lax border security the president has long warned about.
Iowa’s Republican governor, Kim Reynolds, released a statement
saying she was “angry that a broken immigration system allowed a
predator like this to live in our community.” And the White
House Twitter account posted a video with the emotional accounts
of people whose family members had been killed by immigrants who
entered the country illegally.
“Mollie Tibbetts, an incredible young woman, is now permanently
separated from her family,” Mr. Trump said Wednesday evening in
a Twitter message, a clear reference to his much criticized
policy that tried to deter illegal border crossings by
separating migrant families.
“A person came in from Mexico illegally and killed her. We need
the wall, we need our immigration laws changed, we need our
border laws changed, we need Republicans to do it because the
Democrats aren’t going to do it,” he said.

Mr. Rivera’s lawyer, Allan M. Richards, disputed the
government’s claims that his client was in the country illegally
and said Mr. Trump’s comments highlighting his immigration
status could prejudice future jurors. Mr. Richards said his
client, who was ordered held on $5 million cash bond during a
brief court appearance on Wednesday, came to the United States
at age 17, had the equivalent of a middle school education and
had worked for years tending to dairy cows.
“For sad and sorry Trump to say that they’re illegal without
even giving them a hearing is totally wrong,” Mr. Richards said
in an interview after the court hearing.
Mr. Rivera’s arrest was a lead story for much of Tuesday evening
and Wednesday on several conservative-leaning news websites, and
was touted as a boost to the Trump administration’s argument for
a more hard-line stance on immigration. The arrest came in the
same week that an undocumented immigrant from Mexico was charged
with second-degree murder in a Minnesota case.
Mr. Trump is expected to continue to push immigration as a
signature issue in courting voters ahead of November’s midterm
elections. In Iowa, Republicans are defending two congressional
seats that Democrats have high hopes of winning, and Governor
Reynolds is seeking a full term in her post.
The discovery of Ms. Tibbetts’s body devastated her hometown,
Brooklyn, where she had returned for the summer after studying
psychology at the University of Iowa. After weeks of anxiously
awaiting news, some residents said Wednesday that they were
frustrated to learn that the suspect in her death was in the
country illegally.
“Mollie would still be alive today if we would just enforce the
laws we already have in place,” said Kerry Traver, 73, who lives
in nearby Marengo. “Here illegally and nobody’s doing anything
about it.”
Rusty Clayton, owner of True Value Hardware in Brooklyn, said
customers in the small town — where doors are seldom locked —
have been coming in to have house keys made ever since news
broke that Ms. Tibbetts was missing. But he said the town views
its Hispanic residents not as outsiders, but as members of the
community.
“Their kids go to our school,” Mr. Clayton said. “One was
homecoming king, and another of the students has been
valedictorian of the class. The kids here well respect them and
interact with them.”
Immigration has long been a divisive issue in Iowa, where
farmers depend on foreign-born laborers to tend their crops and
livestock,
