A former Trump campaign aide says that, despite the narrative that President Joe Biden is to blame for the recent death of a Georgia nursing student who was allegedly murdered by an undocumented immigrant, the blood may actually be more on the hands of her former boss, Trump.
A.J. Delgado, a former Trump 2016 campaign aide, made headlines in November of 2023 when she accused longtime Trump aide Jason Miller of engaging in "a cycle of sexual coercion, rape, sexual assault, abuse, battery, sexual harassment, and sex trafficking."
Now she's drawing attention to the situation in which a Venezuelan immigrant has been accused of killing a nursing student, Laken Riley.

"You're going to see a lot of #MAGA folks on here, who are claiming that Biden has 'blood on his hands' due to the suspect in the Atlanta-nursing-student's murder being an illegal immigrant from Venezuela who reportedly arrived in 2022," she wrote. "Except... whoops."
She continued, saying that it "seems *TRUMP* is the one to blame, if anyone is other than, you know, the murderer."
"You see, on his way out the door in January 2021, one of the last things Trump did was carve out a special category for Venezuelans, same as Cubans," she then added. "WHY did he do this? Simple. For years, the Right has cast Venezuelans as particularly 'sympatico' [because] they are 'fleeing socialism.' So there a big demand, [especially] from [Republicans] in Florida, to allow tons of Venezuelans to come and give them protection. [Because]... they are socialism victims."
Delgado said she won't go into whether it was a good idea or a bad idea, but, she noted, "The point is, it was TRUMP who signed an order basically making it HUGELY enticing for Venezuelans to make their way to America (often via the southern border). A year later, this guy came in."
She concluded:
"Can you say it's the Dems' fault? Sure. Is it also Trump's' fault? Sure. But I think it's worse for Trump [because] the reason Trump did it was [because] he owed favors to rich Venezuelans in FL. And that is the problem [with] Trump - he goes against his duty, to curry favor/repay favors."
Former federal and state prosecutor Ron Filipkowski appeared to echo Delgado's sentiments, saying in response to a quote from the former president: "Well, they've been accusing Joe Biden all day of murder because his DHS followed the asylum policy you implemented for Venezuelans."
