WaPo: “A Virginia man was sentenced to life in prison on federal hate crime and firearms charges Thursday, after pleading guilty to shooting two men because he suspected they were migrants from outside the United States.
Douglas Wayne Cornett, 59, had told detectives that he was angry undocumented migrants were receiving resources from the government, according to court records, and had fantasized about shooting undocumented migrants at the border from a helicopter to deter people from “attempting to cross the border.” He pleaded guilty in June.”
