What's with the Republican talking points added to the end of the article criticizing the family's statement about politicization? no facts, no citations, and no value. 68.38.20.93 (talk) 22:41, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The line "despite research showing that undocumented immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than native-born Americans." violates NPOV and serves to let the article argue a political point, instead of just letting the relevant parties make the statements. It should be removed. 2601:201:8C01:E2F0:AC81:2CE3:6486:EE4 (talk) 18:58, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am not an expert but removal of the entire bit you quote doesn't look ideal. It gives context to the rest of the section where the use of the murder for political purposes is challenged.
Perhaps "despite research showing" could be changed to "while research shows". Would that improve the situation? More opinions from other editors would be appreciated. Commander Keane (talk) 20:13, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
