You remember Rachel Morin. She was the mother of five who was raped and murdered by an illegal immigrant while on a hike in Bel Air, Maryland. Back in April, a Maryland jury found illegal immigrant Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez guilty of murdering the 37-year-old. You won’t remember her from CNN or MSNBC, even though she spoke at the White House briefing room lectern, because neither network decided to cover her statement in which she slammed Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen for flying to El Salvador to have margaritas with Maryland Man Kilmar Abrego Garcia. She had told Fox News’ “Hannity” the night before: “I’m actually outraged … He did not call our family; he did not give condolences. There was no action… in Maryland, none of the senators did anything to help search for the murderer of my daughter.”
There’s some good news, although it’s flown under the legacy media radar. Martinez-Hernandez was sentenced to life in prison on Monday without parole.
Today, Rachel Morin’s killer was sentenced to life without parole for her brutal murder. This criminal illegal alien should have never been in our country in the first place.
Rachel should still be here watching her 5 children grow up.

God bless Rachel, @PattyMorin, and the Morin family.
ICE Acting Director Lyons on sentencing of Martinez-Hernandez:
While the justice system has provided some measure of closure, nothing can offset the pain of losing a mother; a daughter; a friend. Rachel Morin was stolen from her family by a reprehensible criminal alien who never… pic.twitter.com/lfdUYs85ao

Our hearts are with the Morin family and all families of those who have lost a loved one to illegal alien crime. Because of them, we will never lose sight of our responsibility to protect and serve the American public.
Van Hollen’s X timeline showed no mention of Rachel Morin; he was too distracted by alleged MS-13 member and human trafficker Abrego Garcia’s well-being in prison in his native country of El Salvador.
This tragedy is the cost of open borders, every preventable loss is proof that protecting Americans must come first 🇺🇸

At least some justice for Rachel and her family. not enough though. Also makes me wonder if @ChrisVanHollen will stand by this animal too?

The whole Biden system let them all in should be criminally held responsible for all these murders and crimes

Simple prison is too good for this fool.

Why is this POS still breathing?

He’s going to be a guest of the United States for a long, long time.
Now arrest Biden, Myorkas, and everybody else that facilitated this…

Politicians should be held accountable for criminal negligence.

He got off easy. Rachel would be alive today if not for Democrat open border policies.

Morin’s is just one of a long list of names of American citizens who’ve been murdered by illegal aliens. Remember how President Joe Biden had to be shamed into saying Laken Riley’s name at his State of the Union address by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene? Even then, he called her “Lincoln Riley” and did so angrily.
Here’s hoping for some closure for Rachel’s mother, Patty, and the rest of the Morin family.
