In a recent development, Patty Morin, the mother of the late Rachel Morin, has publicly criticized the Biden administration.
This comes in the wake of the arrest of Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, by Maryland police. Martinez-Hernandez is accused of raping and murdering Rachel Morin, a mother of five, in August of last year.
According to The Blaze, Patty Morin expressed her belief that her daughter might still be alive if the previous immigration policies were still in place, stating, "If we had left things in place, my daughter might still be here today."
In a recent interview with CNN, Alejandro Mayorkas, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, referred to Rachel Morin merely as an "individual," refusing to use her name. Patty Morin responded to this perceived slight during an interview on Fox News, expressing her disappointment with the administration's lack of personal acknowledgment.
"It's a completely political statement because theyre not even willing to acknowledge that she was a mother, a daughter," Patty Morin said. "It totally depersonalizes her and makes her an object." She further criticized the administration's impersonal approach, stating, "To not even acknowledge that my daughter is a person or that she is female or a mother, to categorize her as a statistic, it just shows how impersonal they are and how they don't value life."
Patty Morin also revealed that no one from the Biden administration has reached out to her or her family following the tragedy. Earlier this week, she expressed her belief that her daughter would still be alive if former President Donald Trump were still in office.
"We're not protecting ourselves, we're not protecting our families, and I think that if they had left things in place and here I am going, I promised I wouldn't be political but if we had left things in place, my daughter might still be here today," she told Fox News host Sean Hannity.
Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler (R) echoed Patty Morin's sentiments, criticizing the current administration's immigration policies. "We are 1800 miles away from the southern border. And American citizens are not safe because of failed immigration policies," Gahler stated. "This is the second time in two years that an innocent Harford County woman has lost her life to a criminal in our country illegally."
In a surprising turn of events, Patty Morin's attorney announced that former President Trump has personally reached out to the grieving mother, something that neither President Biden nor his administration has done.
"I am deeply touched by President Trump's kindness and concern. He was genuine and truly wanted to know how our family was coping. He asked about Rachel and showed honest compassion for her untimely death. His words brought comfort to me during this very difficult time," Patty Morin said in a statement.
Attorney Randolph Rice praised Trump's gesture, stating, "We are thankful for President Trumps call. Acts like this show the depth of his care for Americans. His concern for Rachels family and his willingness to reach out personally was consoling to the family and means a great deal to us all."
As the debate over immigration policies continues, the tragic death of Rachel Morin serves as a stark reminder of the potential consequences of policy decisions. The lack of personal acknowledgment from the current administration, coupled with the compassionate outreach from the former President, has only added fuel to the ongoing discourse.
