The Biden administration has not disclosed whether they plan to contact the family of Rachel Morin, a Maryland mother of five who was allegedly raped and murdered by an illegal immigrant. According to Randolph Rice, an attorney representing the Morin family, Patty Morin, Rachel’s mother, has not been contacted by any official from the Biden administration. Despite Fox News Digital reaching out to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the White House for information on whether they intend to reach out to the Morin family, no response has been provided.
In a statement, a DHS spokesperson mentioned that they cannot publicly comment on an ongoing criminal investigation but emphasized that anyone who commits such a horrific crime should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The White House expressed condolences to the family of Rachel Morin but did not specify any actions they would take to secure the border.
Former President Trump reportedly reached out to Patty Morin, expressing his condolences and showing genuine concern for her family. This gesture was deeply appreciated by Patty Morin, bringing her comfort during a difficult time.
Rachel Morin, 37, was reported missing in August after going out for a run and never returning. Her body was found on a trail the next day. The suspect, Victor Martinez Hernandez, an illegal migrant, was arrested on charges of rape and first-degree murder. Hernandez, who has been in the U.S. since February 2023, was apprehended in a Tulsa bar. His DNA was linked to a previous home invasion in Los Angeles, indicating that Rachel Morin might not have been his first victim.
Harford County Sheriff Jeff Gahler expressed concern that Hernandez had fled to the U.S. illegally after committing a murder in El Salvador. Hernandez is expected to be extradited to Maryland to face charges related to Rachel Morin’s murder.
The Harford County Sheriff’s Office posted signs at Ma & Pa Trail heads announcing Hernandez’s arrest, bringing some closure to the community. Hernandez will be taken to the Harford County Detention Center upon his arrival in Maryland.
The tragic death of Rachel Morin at the hands of an illegal immigrant has sparked outrage and concern about border security and the safety of communities. The lack of communication from the Biden administration with the Morin family has raised questions about their response to such incidents. As the case progresses, the family and the community seek justice for Rachel Morin and others who may have fallen victim to similar crimes.
