Trump felt ‘obligated’ to share graphic and unedited video of slain killing

  • Donald Trump posted an unedited video on Truth Social depicting a woman being bludgeoned to death with a hammer, stating he felt an "obligation" to share the "brutal slaying."
  • The video shows Rolbert Joachin, identified as an undocumented immigrant from Haiti, attacking Nilufa Easmin, a gas station clerk, outside a Fort Myers, Florida gas station in early April.
  • Trump used the graphic post to criticize immigration policies, particularly Temporary Protected Status, which he labeled a "massively abused and fraudulent program."
  • Joachin, who had been granted Temporary Protected Status that expired in 2024, confessed to the murder and will be deported regardless of the investigation's outcome, according to DHS.
  • Nilufa Easmin, a devoted mother of two daughters, was intentionally attacked by Joachin, and a GoFundMe campaign has been launched to support her children.
