Later that day, at 20:45 UTC, ICE posted a quote from Laura Wilkerson regarding her son’s death: “The man next to me was President Trump. He never, ever looked away from my pain.”
Laura Wilkerson’s 18-year-old son Joshua Aaron was beaten, tortured, strangled to death and set on fire by a criminal illegal alien who should’ve never been in the U.S.
