Athens, Georgia Mayor Kelly Girtz is facing a local recall effort following the tragic murder of Laken Riley by an illegal alien. Girtz is pushing for the suspension of the recall until the court reviews the grounds for the initiative. He has also criticized county elections officials for mishandling the recall effort. Private emails from Girtz show his support for sanctuary city policies, despite the controversy surrounding Riley’s murder. The accused killer, Jose Antonio Ibarra, had a prior criminal history and was granted a work permit by the Biden administration before the murder. Ibarra is currently in jail awaiting trial.
