KJP Spends Over A Minute Talking About Texas Shooting Without Once Mentioning Suspect Is Illegal Immigrant

2023-05-02

[Daily Caller] White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre spent over a minute addressing a shooting that broke out in Cleveland, Texas, at Monday’s briefing without once mentioning the suspected shooter appears to be an illegal immigrant.

Mexican national Francisco Oropesa Perez-Torres,

...previously named merely as Francisco Oropeza...

38, allegedly fatally shot five people, including an 8-year-old, in "execution style" killings Friday. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF) Monday that the suspected shooter was previously ordered to be removed by an immigration judge on March 16, 2009.

Jean-Pierre addressed that the shooter used an AR-15-style rifle in the shooting and that Congress must ban so-called "weapons of war."

"In all, five people were murdered by an individual armed with a powerful AR-15 style rifle," she said. "As the manhunt for the suspected assailant continues, we urge the public to heed all guidance from law enforcement officials and stay safe. Federal law enforcement agencies have been providing assistance and support to local law enforcement as they work to respond to this tragedy and locate the suspect."

#5 Living not too far from the events, I sorta "asked around" about this.
The rising conclusion various LE types is, he's likely a cartel 'solado'. No evident job, but paid his rent, nice clothes. Tossed his AR when he left. One person said they saw him stop, reach in his pocket, get out his cell phone, and toss it.
He's probably already made contact with his boss, and they'll either whack him and leave the body where it can be found, or he's over the border.
