The Associated Press used a new term for “illegal alien” in a story last week about a Mexican gang member convicted of murdering 21-year-old Grant Ronnebeck for some cigarettes.
From AP, “Prosecutors can’t seek execution in case against immigrant”:
Prosecutors can no longer seek the death penalty against a Mexican immigrant charged with murder in the 2015 shooting death of a convenience store clerk in a Phoenix suburb because the accused is intellectually disabled, a judge has ruled.
Note: no mention of citizenship status in either the headline or the first sentence of the article.
The ruling Wednesday means Apolinar Altamirano will face life in prison if he’s convicted of first-degree murder in the killing of 21-year-old clerk Grant Ronnebeck at the store in Mesa.
The case against Altamirano has been cited by President Donald Trump, who has railed against crimes committed against American citizens by immigrants who are the United States illegally.
