During a speech in Grand Rapids, Michigan on Tuesday, Donald Trump falsely claimed to have spoken with the family of Ruby Garcia, a 25-year-old woman who was murdered, in an attempt to exploit her death and launch xenophobic attacks on the immigrant community. Ruby's sister, Mavi Garcia, has denounced Trump's actions, stating that he is trying to scapegoat all immigrants for crimes committed by individuals, regardless of their nationality. Trump's speech included false statements about having spoken with the Garcia family and described Ruby as a "beautiful young woman" who was "shot multiple times." The family has not confirmed any meeting with Trump, and Mavi Garcia has expressed her disapproval of Trump's exploitation of her sister's death.
Donald Trump's Xenophobic Attacks Against Immigrants: Misinformation and Harm: Trump's speeches contained xenophobic attacks against immigrants based on misinformation, causing distress to those affected. Factual reporting is crucial to prevent harm.
During his speeches in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and Grand Rapids, Michigan, Donald Trump made numerous xenophobic attacks against immigrants, some of which were based on misinformation. For instance, Trump claimed to have spoken with the Garcia family, specifically Mavi Garcia, about the murder of her sister Ruby, but Mavi stated that they were only acquaintances. Furthermore, Trump incorrectly stated that if someone's home is invaded by illegal aliens, Trump would deport the homeowner. These inaccuracies and hateful remarks left Mavi feeling heartbroken and caused her to stop watching Trump's speeches. The incident highlights the importance of factual reporting and the potential harm of spreading misinformation.

Trump's False Claims Add to Families' Grief: Former President Trump's actions during election campaigns, such as exploiting tragedies for political gain and spreading misinformation, can cause harm and distress to families who have lost loved ones.
Former President Donald Trump's actions during election campaigns, including exploiting tragedies for political gain and spreading misinformation, have caused harm and distress to families who have lost loved ones. The latest instance involves Trump's speech in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he claimed to have spoken with the family of Ruby Garcia, who was found dead on the highway, but in reality, he had not. This false claim added to the family's grief and anger. Moreover, Trump's focus on immigration during his speech, which connected the murder to illegal immigration, was found to be misleading, as the relationship between the victim and the suspect was not romantic but friendly. These actions by Trump demonstrate a disregard for the truth and the pain of families during election years.
Sister of shooting victim expresses anger towards President Trump's politicization of her sister's death: The sister of a shooting victim urged politicians to focus on the victim's life and personality instead of making it a political issue based on the shooter's illegal status.
The sister of a shooting victim expressed her anger and disappointment towards President Trump for politicizing her sister's death during a speech. The sister, Mavi Garcia, stated that she wished Trump and others would focus on her sister's life and personality instead of making it a political issue due to the illegal status of the shooter, Ortiz Vitay. She emphasized that Americans who commit heinous crimes should also be addressed, not just illegal immigrants. The focus should be on remembering the victim as a happy and generous person. Ortiz Vitay is facing several charges, including felony murder and carjacking, and is expected back in court on April 9th. The sister's plea for privacy was ignored after Trump's speech, leading her to express her frustration and disappointment towards the President.
