LANSING, Mich. — Sen. Jonathan Lindsey, R-Allen, expressed his dismay over recent reports of an illegal immigrant sexually assaulting minors in the district.

“My prayers remain with these young girls and their family and others who have been affected by this crisis — and I commend our law enforcement offices for their diligence in capturing this man,” Lindsey stated.

Lindsey also criticized President Joe Biden, attributing the incident to what he referred to as a "border crisis." He remarked, “President Joe Biden’s border crisis is putting people from every corner of this country at risk.”

The senator pointed out that the situation could have been prevented, blaming the president for turning a blind eye to crimes associated with illegal immigrants entering the country. Lindsey emphasized the impact on Michigan residents, stating, “These preventable crimes are becoming more frequent across the United States — and unfortunately, are now hitting home for Michigan residents.”

Highlighting the consequences faced by Michiganders, Lindsey criticized both President Biden and Governor Whitmer for their handling of the issue. He accused them of neglecting the severity of the situation and failing to prioritize the safety of the state's residents. Lindsey stated, “President Biden is completely absent, and Gov. Whitmer refuses to acknowledge the severity of this issue.”

In response to the incident, Lindsey pledged to continue advocating for measures to prevent such tragedies from reoccurring. He affirmed, “I will continue fighting to reverse the path we are on and pushing my colleagues in the Legislature to do everything we can to shield our state from more of these tragedies.”

The senator concluded by urging individuals to subscribe to his email list for updates on state government matters and encouraged them to follow his work.
