Messer issues statement regarding death of Edwin Jackson

Washingon D.C. —  Republican U.S. Congressman Luke Messer issued the following statement today on the deaths of Colts player Edwin Jackson and Jeffrey Monroe.

“Our prayers continue for Edwin Jackson, Jeffrey Monroe, their friends and family, and the entire Colts organization,” Messer said. “I echo the President’s concern that it’s long past time to deal with illegal immigration in this country. Clearly, the suspect in this case should not have been in the country, and this tragedy is yet another result of our broken immigration system. I have consistently advocated for stronger border security and am committed to working with President Trump to solve this issue.”

Yesterday, Messer tweeted his condolences to the family and friends of Jackson, as well as the Colts organization.
