U.K. deputy prime minister: JD Vance was wrong to blame teen's murder on immigration

Article excerpt

Britain's deputy prime minister pushed back against U.S. Vice President JD Vance after Vance attributed a university student's murder to immigration policy. The British official said he directly told Vance he was wrong to frame the stabbing death, which occurred while the victim was handcuffed, primarily as an immigration issue. The exchange highlights a transatlantic disagreement over how to characterize violent crime and the role immigration plays in criminal violence.
