Hispanic Community: Press Trump and Mollie Tibbetts

hispanic community: The man charged in her death, 24-year-old Cristhian Bahena Rivera, is a Mexican farm worker who is suspected of being in the U.S. illegally, according to Toronto Star. Mollie Tibbetts' father wants his daughter left out of the debate on immigration. Authorities have said the University of Iowa student was abducted while she was out for an evening run in Brooklyn, Iowa, on July 18. Charlie Neibergall / The Associated Press Trump and other politicians quickly noted that element of the case and called for changes to immigration law. He said his stepdaughter is Latina and argued that the suspected killer is no more a reflection of the Hispanic community as white supremacists are of all white people. In an opinion piece published online by The Des Moines Register Saturday, Rob Tibbetts wrote that while he supports debate on immigration, some politicians and pundits went too far in using his daughter's death to promote political agendas.
