TL;DR Summary

President Biden expressed regret for using the term "illegal" to describe the suspected killer of Laken Riley, a Georgia nursing student, during his State of the Union address, while at a rally, Donald Trump criticized Biden's immigration policies and blamed them for Riley's death. The murder has become a focal point in the 2024 campaign, with Republicans seizing on frustrations over the Biden administration's handling of the U.S-Mexico border. Trump vowed to mount the largest deportation in U.S. history if elected and accused Biden of lacking remorse and empathy. Biden had agreed to changes in U.S. immigration law earlier this year, but a bipartisan compromise was quickly killed by Republican lawmakers after Trump opposed it.
