Georgia House Republicans are pushing to require every eligible police and sheriff’s department to help identify undocumented immigrants, arrest them and detain them for deportation. The proposal advanced through a committee on Tuesday after police charged a Venezuelan man with beating a nursing student to death on the University of Georgia campus.

Riley, a nursing student at Augusta University’s Athens campus, was found dead Thursday, Feb.

“This issue right now is my community’s most important issue, certainly, as we faced unspeakable tragedy in Athens over the last several days,” said Republican state Rep. Houston Gaines of Athens. “Unfortunately, folks have capitalized on the death of a young woman for political points in a way that’s really disheartening,” Otero said.
