White Nationalist Mass Murderer Who Killed 23 People at El Paso Walmart Gets 90 Life Sentences
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Texas, the white nationalist gunman who killed 23 people at an El
Paso Walmart in 2019 has been sentenced to 90 consecutive life terms,
after pleading guilty to federal hate crimes and weapons charges. The
gunman still faces murder charges in a state trial that could bring him
the death penalty. The mass shooting nearly four years ago was the
deadliest attack on the Latinx community in modern U.S. history. Shortly
before the massacre, the shooter published a racist online manifesto
echoing President Trump's rhetoric about an "invasion" of immigrants
crossing the southern border.
