Accuracy
Jose Antonio Ibarra, charged with the murder of Laken Riley on the University of Georgia campus, entered the US illegally near El Paso in September 2022 and was paroled into the US. He had previously been arrested in New York City a year later for acting in a manner to injure a child less than 17 and motor vehicle license violation.
Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that ICE confirmed the suspect entered illegally and had previously been arrested in New York City. However, this information was not provided by ICE but rather from a previous Fox News report which has since been updated with new information. Secondly, the article claims that the suspect was released before a detainer could be issued due to NYC being a sanctuary city. This is also incorrect as it states in the article's own statement that ERO Atlanta lodged a detainer for Ibarra after encountering him pursuant to his arrest by UGA Police Department and charges of murder and other crimes.
The sentence 'ICE confirmed he had been encountered by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) on Sept. 8, 2022, after entering near El Paso' is deceptive as it implies that ICE was the source of this information when in fact it came from a previous Fox News report.
The sentence 'ICE also confirmed that Ibarra had been arrested by the New York Police Department a year later, on Sept. 14, 2023, and charged with acting in a manner to injure a child less than 17 and motor vehicle license violation' is deceptive as it implies that ICE was the source of this information when in fact it came from another news outlet.
Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy by stating that ICE confirmed the suspect entered illegally and was previously arrested in New York City. The author also uses a dichotomous depiction of Georgia authorities identifying the murder suspect while NYC is portrayed as restrictive towards law enforcement compliance with ICE detainers, which could be seen as an inflammatory rhetorical device.

Deception

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author implies that female runners face a high risk of being attacked when statistics show that such attacks are rare.

The article quotes an expert who suggests teaching men not to assault women rather than telling women what they should or should not do which contradicts their own statement about crime statistics indicating these types of attacks are rare. For example, the author states 'Callie Rennison, a professor of criminal justice at the University of Colorado who studies violence against women, wishes there was more emphasis on teaching men not to assault women rather than telling women what they should or should not do.' However, crime statistics indicate that these types of attacks are rare.
Fallacies
(0%)
The author uses a dichotomous depiction by presenting two contrasting views on how to respond to the dangers faced by female runners. On one hand, she quotes Rennison, who advocates for teaching men not to assault women and encourages women to keep exercising despite the risks. On the other hand, she cites Capps' experience of feeling unsafe and shattered after Riley's murder, implying that staying away from certain areas is a reasonable option.
Rennison: I hope that women keep getting out there running, hiking, matriculating, climbing, working, and living their lives as they deserve. While I lose hope on some days for us, what is the alternative? Trying to exist quietly doesn’t protect us either.
