In the wake of 20-year-old college student Mollie Tibbetts’ alleged murder by an illegal alien, the Washington Post profiled the small community of Brooklyn, Iowa, which has been shaken by the crime, focusing primarily on the hardships of the town’s immigrants. As Breitbart News has reported extensively, 24-year-old illegal alien Cristhian Bahena-Rivera has been charged with first-degree murder in Tibbetts’ death after police say he admitted to confronting and chasing down the young woman. The illegal alien lived in a region of Iowa that was surrounded by sanctuary cities, as Breitbart News noted, and worked on a dairy farm using a stolen ID and Social Security card after allegedly crossing the U.S.-Mexico border as a child.
In the Washington Post‘s profile of Brooklyn, Iowa, reporter Katie Mettler focuses much of the piece on the small town’s Hispanic and immigrant population which—as she notes—represents less than 2.5 percent of the community.
“Brooklyn’s Latino residents say they have felt welcome in this town, which sits halfway between Iowa City and Des Moines along Interstate 80, but there have been subtle tensions,” the Washington Post report reads. “Language barriers create some separation, and there are cultural disconnects: In Mexico, quinceañeras are a community affair. Here, they are not.”
Later on, the Washington Post piece highlights how immigrants in the town are suffering after Tibbetts’ death and are allegedly being harassed. Specifically, Mettler notes the hardships of Bahena-Rivera’s uncle:
Rivera’s uncle, Eustaquio “Capi” Bahena Radilla, said he fears less for himself than for his three school-age children. Most days, Bahena Radilla socializes only with co-workers at Yarrabee Farms. Even if he spent more time in town, he wouldn’t know if neighbors were whispering about him — he doesn’t speak English. [Emphasis added]

Have you noticed we are in a civil war?
Of course, the hardships they face are be-headings, rape, torture, and enslavement so I guess that's not as bad as verbal harassment in the eyes of the cognoscenti at the paper.
Cry me a river and get the hell out of my country.
If they want to talk Mexican eat Mexican and live Mexican they should STAY in Mexico.Leave evil prejudiced Usa where we object to illegals kulling people.
Killing
I got that one in my FB a few days ago .... gonn’a send it again
More proof that the leftist media are the enemy of a free people.
JoMa
Do I have to read the rest of the article? I stopped after the first “hardship” listed was that he didn’t know if people are whispering about him, because he doesn’t speak English.
It isn't news, it is propaganda.
You missed the memo. They get to choose to come here, illegally, but they also get to hate the place and accuse us all of being mean to them. But they had to come here.
LMAO!!!!
They can always go back home.
Tough titty said the kitty when the milk ran dry.
Maybe Mr Tibbetts put them up to it
How much more despicable can these scumbags be?
IF Yarrabee & the other surrounding farms have NOT audited their payroll records & cleaned out the illegals, they deserve huge fines & prison time.
Feel sorry for these invaders? HELL, NO !!!
Are they implying that the girl is allegedly dead?
You got me ... I speak English.
Them poor illegals have it tough - so they kill the occasional citizen, they have bad days too.....then when they have a bad day, it just gets worse because the perception is that they shouldn’t be killing anyone....them poor poor people....
