Vance condemns death of UK's Henry Nowak: 'Enraging'

Vice President JD Vance on Friday lamented the death of Henry Nowak, a white man killed in the UK whose murder has become a rallying cry for anti-immigration politicians.

Nowak was stabbed by Vickrum Digwa, a Sikh, who falsely claimed that Nowak had conducted a racially motivated attack against him. Digwa was sentenced this week. The body camera footage showed Nowak repeatedly state that he had been stabbed, before authorities arrested him. He died in police custody.

"Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit," Vance posted on X. "His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it."

Vance has long been a critic of Europe's immigration policy, contending that it risks transforming the continent and threatens the transatlantic alliance with the U.S.

"One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse," he added.
