Lammy rebukes immigration link to student murder in talk with US Vice President
The British Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy told U. S. Vice President JD Vance that linking the murder of a university student to immigration was inaccurate.
He warned that the comment ignored the fact that the perpetrator was a British citizen and stressed the need for measured responses while investigations continued. The Guardian reported Lammy’s warning and his call for restraint. AP News later echoed Lammy’s criticism, noting he reiterated that blaming immigration was wrong and again emphasized the importance of a careful public discourse as the case remained under investigation.
