The mother of Rachel Morin, a Maryland mother of five who was tragically killed while hiking near her home, has expressed disappointment in the Biden administration's response to her daughter's murder. The accused, illegal migrant Victor Martinez Hernandez, faces charges of first-degree murder and first-degree rape following a lengthy investigation.
Rachel's mother, Patty Morin, criticized Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for failing to mention her daughter by name during an interview. Mayorkas referred to Rachel as 'the woman, the mother,' prompting Morin to describe his response as depersonalizing and objectifying her daughter.
In a heartfelt plea to the Biden administration, Morin emphasized that victims of crimes committed by criminal migrants are American citizens who contribute significantly to the country's strength and vitality. She highlighted the importance of recognizing the humanity and individuality of those affected by such tragedies.
Morin expressed her family's ongoing grief over the loss of Rachel, emphasizing that her daughter should not be reduced to a political statistic. She described the profound impact of Rachel's absence on their daily lives, noting the constant reminders of her presence in their family activities.
While the White House offered condolences to the Morin family, it refrained from commenting on specific border security measures in response to the tragedy. Former President Trump reached out to Patty Morin, expressing his sympathy and concern for her family during this difficult time.
