UNBELIEVABLE: Illegal Immigrant Who Murdered Michigan Woman SUES President Trump

A convicted murder and illegal immigrant from Mexico is now suing President Trump for an incredibly absurd reason.

27-year-old Brandon Ortiz-Vite is serving out a lengthy prison sentence for murdering a young, innocent woman named Ruby Garcia in 2024.

ABC 13 provided some additional background:

Ortiz-Vite pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the shooting death of 25-year-old Ruby Garcia. Ortiz-Vite shot her multiple times while in her car on US 131. He left her body on the side of the road and took her car to flee the scene.

Two days after Garcia’s death, Ortiz-Vite called 911 from a church in Allegan County and confessed to killing her, leaving her body and taking her car.

Ortiz-Vite took a plea deal in the case. He agreed to plead guilty to second-degree murder, carjacking, carrying a concealed weapon and felony firearm in his girlfriend’s killing.

At his sentencing in 2024, the judge called Ortiz-Vite cold-blooded.

“This, sir, was a cold-blooded, intentional killing. This young lady was shot several times, and then you put the gun right to her head and pulled the trigger. There is just no reason for this, no justification, no excuse whatsoever. You, sir, are a cold-blooded murderer. This is an intentional crime, and you are a danger to society. You are a very violent individual, and you need to be removed from society,” the judge said.

But now, he claims that President Trump “humiliated” him by using his mugshot.

In his lawsuit, Ortiz-Vite is making some truly ridiculous requests.

Not only is he asking for $75 million in damages, but he is also demanding a public apology and U.S. citizenship.

Fat chance!

Imagine the entitlement.

This monster who brutally killed his girlfriend now has the audacity to claim that he’s actually the victim here — all because President Trump used him as an example of the types of scum that Democrats have allowed into our country under failed open-border policies.

Fox News shared more context:

Ortiz-Vite’s case garnered national attention and was highlighted when Trump, who made combating illegal immigration a large part of his campaign, visited Grand Rapids in 2024. During his remarks, Trump labeled Ortiz-Vite as “America’s problem.”

He also featured Ortiz-Vite’s mugshot in commercials as an example of the “murderers, rapists , and drug traffickers” who resided illegally in the United States, The Midwesterner reported.

He was mocked by prison staff and other inmates, he said.

“I was put into a category. Who I was as a person no longer mattered! What only mattered was my race,” Ortiz-Vite wrote. “My case and immigration status! Once again, it belittled me, shattered my dignity and what I was as a person.”

“The shame it brought to my family name is a reality I have to live with now,” he added. “I took full responsibility for my actions but for them to use my case for political gain on TV was unjust. Humiliating. When I thought it couldn’t get worse, it did. I was center stage in front of a nation, public scrutiny at its finest!”

Ortiz-Vite, who acted as his own attorney, said his case came under intense media coverage, resulting in him living in a “nightmare”.

“It all became clear to me when I first met with my court-appointed attorneys. They explained how my case had now gotten blown out of proportion and was now a high-profile case!” he wrote. “The shock in their eyes and the tears from mine were a reaction to my realization that I was living everyone’s worst nightmare! To be publicly infamous—a target! To the United States of America, from here everything went downhill. I was now labeled a cold-blooded murderer in the eyes of the people of this nation.”

“The anxiety and despair I felt compares to no other,” he added.

This local news clip covered the story further:

Of course, Ortiz-Vite’s case against President Trump is a long-shot, with virtually no chance of succeeding.

MLive shared a statement from Michigan attorney Matthew Borgula on the lawsuit:

Grand Rapids attorney Matthew Borgula, a former federal prosecutor, said the lawsuit is unlikely to survive the court’s screening process.

“Based on my experience, I do not think this lawsuit is going anywhere,” Borgula said.

“Also, Presidential immunity covers official acts, and campaign statements can fall outside it — but this suit fails for more basic reasons. The statements were substantially true, and being publicly embarrassed by a politician isn’t a constitutional violation. This case should end before it begins.”
