The mother of Rachel Morin, who was allegedly killed by an illegal immigrant, expressed disappointment with how the Biden administration responded to her daughter’s murder.
Patty Morin said the administration’s reaction felt impersonal, especially DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ failure to mention Rachel by name in a CNN interview.
Rachel Morin, a mother of five from Maryland, was killed while hiking near her home.
Victor Martinez Hernandez, an illegal migrant, faces charges of first-degree murder and rape after a 10-month investigation.
On “The Ingraham Angle” show, Patty Morin criticized Mayorkas for what she called a “completely political statement.”
She felt he didn’t acknowledge Rachel as a woman, mother, or daughter, which she said depersonalized her and reduced her to a statistic.
Morin emphasized that victims of crimes by criminal migrants are American citizens who contribute significantly to the country.
She highlighted their role in strengthening the economy, families, and communities, calling them the backbone of America.
The grieving mother expressed how deeply her family feels Rachel’s absence every day, saying her daughter should not be turned into a political symbol.
She described the constant sadness of Rachel’s absence and the void it has left in their lives.
While the White House offered condolences to Rachel Morin’s loved ones, they declined to discuss border security measures in response to questions from a Fox News Digital reporter.
Former President Trump reached out to Patty Morin personally, which she appreciated deeply, according to a statement from her attorney.
