Donald Trump, the former US president, is scheduled to make a campaign speech in Grand Rapids, Michigan, addressing the contentious immigration debate in the wake of Ruby Garcia’s murder, a 25-year-old resident of Grand Rapids who was shot by her boyfriend, Brandon Ortiz-Vite, who was in the country illegally after being deported. The focus on border security measures put in place nationwide by President Joe Biden is highlighted by Trump’s visit. Trump has charged Biden with not doing enough to solve the problem, saying that the country is witnessing an increase in criminal activities as a result of inadequate border enforcement.
