    The arrest of a 24-year-old illegal immigrant in the murder of
    University of Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts sparked both mournful
    — and fiery — responses from politicians on Tuesday, as they
    pleaded with Congress to do more to protect U.S. citizens.

    Investigators identified Tibbetts' suspected killer as Cristhian
    Bahena Rivera, an illegal immigrant from Mexico who is believed
    to have been living in the area around Brooklyn, Iowa, for four
    to seven years.

    Speaking at a rally in West Virginia, the president says the
    death of the Iowa student by an illegal immigrant suspect should
    never have happened.
    President Trump, while in West Virginia speaking at a rally,
    said Tibbetts' murder "should have never happened."

    "You heard about today with the illegal alien coming in, very
    sadly, from Mexico and you saw what happened to that incredible,
    beautiful young woman?" Trump asked. "Should have never
    happened. Illegally in our country."

    Vice President Mike Pence said he was "heartbroken" by the news
    of Tibbetts' brutal slaying and offered prayers for the young
    woman's family and close friends "in this time of unimaginable
    grief." Pence called for "justice" after police announced
    Rivera's arrest.

    We commend the swift action by local, state, & federal
    investigators working in Iowa in apprehending an illegal
    immigrant, who’s now charged with first-degree murder. Now,
    justice will be served. We will never forget Mollie Tibbetts.

    Over the past month, thousands of Iowans searched and prayed for
    Mollie’s safe return. Now, we are called to come together once
    again to lift up a grieving family. The search for Mollie is
    over, but the demand for justice has just begun.

    As Iowans, we are heartbroken, and we are angry. We are angry
    that a broken immigration system allowed a predator like this to
    live in our community, and we will do all we can bring justice
    to Mollie’s killer.

    This is truly heartbreaking. For Mollie’s parents, her family
    and friends, any words today will be of little comfort. As a
    parent and grandparent, your worst nightmare is losing your
    child.

    I want to commend our law enforcement officials who worked
    around the clock to investigate this crime. In this state, if
    you break the law, you will face the consequences.

    John Cox, a GOP candidate in California's race for governor,
    released a statement comparing Tibbetts' murder to the
    "heartbreaking death" of Kate Steinle, who was shot and killed
    on a San Francisco pier in 2015. Investigators said the suspect,
    Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, was in the U.S. illegally. A jury
    acquitted him of murder, manslaughter and assault last year but
    convicted him of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

    Illegal immigrant acquitted in the Kate Steinle death has
    accused the government of 'vindictive' prosecution. Jose Garcia
    Zarate's attorney Maria Belyi joins 'The Story' for an exclusive
    interview.
    "As a father of four daughters, it crushes my heart to see yet
    another family go through this nightmare," Cox said. "Those who
    want to abolish ICE need to consider the consequences of their
    rash proposal."

    He continued, "The Mollie Tibbetts case is one more tragic
    example of a senseless loss that never should have happened,
    similar to Kate Steinle’s heartbreaking death in San Francisco."

    Texas Governor Greg Abbott pivoted to turn Tibbetts' death into
    a poltical discussion, partially placing blame on sanctuary
    cities, though Iowa — where the 20-year-old's body was found in
    a field covered with corn stalks — doesn't have any designated
    sanctuary cities.

    An undocumented immigrant is charged for murder of Mollie
    Tibbetts, the Iowa college student who went missing on July 18.
    This is why so many Americans are angry about sanctuary cities.
    It’s why Texas banned sanctuary cities. It’s about safety. #tcot

    What will it take for Democrats to renounce their dangerous
    open borders policies and start to put American citizens first?
    It’s time they stop blocking common sense bills to restore the
    rule of law in this country before we see another senseless

    Scalise asked. "It’s time they stop blocking common sense bills
    to restore the rule of law in this country before we see another

    Kate Steinle and now Mollie Tibbetts appear to have both been
    killed by illegal immigrants and are the victims of failure to
    enforce illegal immigration laws. #Tucker
    In a nod to recent comments from fellow Republicans, Arizona
    Rep. Paul Gosar called on Congress to help secure the border.

    "Securing our border is about protecting our communities,
    families and children from dangerous criminal activity and
    violence that threatens their safety. #SecureOurBorder," Gosar
    wrote, in part.

    Iowa Rep. Steve King also asked for justice to be served.
