Another horrific murder shows what we’re up against — not just the illegal aliens, but the judges who keep releasing them.

On April 3, a 51-year-old woman was murdered by a man wielding a hammer as she exited a Chevron gas station in Ft. Myers, Florida. The attack was captured on video, and from the video, it appears that the woman didn’t realize until the last second what was happening. It was too unexpected. The victim had undoubtedly exited that gas station, where she reportedly worked as a clerk, dozens if not hundreds of times before and felt secure. In the video, she shows no sign of apprehension, but as long as anyone like her killer is at large in America, none of us is completely safe from this kind of unexpected attack.
The hammer murder was so vicious that it captured the attention of President Trump, who condemned it on Truth Social. A murder of this kind — of a totally innocent and unsuspecting middle-aged woman by a strong young man in the most brutal fashion and in broad daylight — is extreme, but not entirely uncommon. It actually epitomizes what has come about in America today, since most murders are carried out by directionless young men, often by illegals and often for no reason (can there be a “reason”?) other than wanting to kill.
The president’s posting, which included “an extremely graphic video — not for children,” identified the accused as 40-year-old Rolbert Joachin, an illegal alien from Haiti who had been released by Joe Biden under the much abused “Temporary Protective Status” program. Trump stated that liberal judges have been blocking the deportation of persons like Joachin, despite the president’s repeated efforts to end the TPS program and deport them. Trump’s DHS assisted the Ft. Myers police in tracking down and arresting the accused. In his statements regarding this killing as in so much else concerning illegal aliens, the president was totally correct.
One month before that unidentified woman was killed in Ft. Myers, another unsuspecting person was killed as she waited for a bus in Fairfax County, Virginia. Thrity-two-year-old Abdul Jalloh is accused of stabbing Stephanie Minter, 41, multiple times and leaving her to die at the bus stop. This case should send chills up the spine of anyone who hears of it, but it doesn’t seem to have affected Virginia’s newly elected governor, Abigail Spanberger, who just after the event signed an executive order allowing state and local police to refuse cooperation with ICE.
The accused in this case had at least forty prior arrests and was reportedly “well known” to prosecutors, but was released every time by liberal judges. Remarkably, under guidelines approved by Gov. Spanberger, Jalloh could be released again without being turned over to ICE.
Most of us are careful when we are out in America’s cities. We avoid areas known to be dangerous, and we watch before we get out of our cars even in “safe” areas. But there is nothing we can do, other than carry a loaded gun and have it ready, to protect ourselves from attacks like these. The most important thing is to support ICE in its effort to remove criminal aliens, who in some locations are responsible for as much as three fourths of violent crime. It is madness for state officials to oppose cooperation with a federal agency — or for Democrats in Congress to block funding — whose main purpose at this time is to remove “the worst of the worst.”
Any discussion of criminal illegal aliens should begin with the understanding that removing them should not be a matter of discussion or a reason to protest on their behalf. It is essential if America is to continue to function as a free, open society. If ICE is prohibited from doing its job, America will turn into what it was quickly becoming under Biden: a crime-ridden, violent, chaotic nation in which no one is truly safe. The women in Ft. Myers and Fairfax County would be alive today if Biden had not let their murderers in, and many others would be alive, including Sheridan Gorman, the 18-year-old Loyola University student in Illinois, if ICE had been allowed to do its job. Already, federal prosecutors have jumped in with a list of charges because they “have no faith” in the Illinois justice system, “according to a local defense attorney.”
What’s actually happening is that Democrat politicians are knowingly allowing the murder of thousands of innocent American citizens, and when the murders take place, all too often, they urge leniency for the killer — as federal prosecutors suspect they will in the case of Gorman’s accused killer — or somehow blame the killing on Trump. We need to recognize that illegal alien crime is not a small problem; it is a cancer that has been growing and that will continue to grow until ICE roots it out. Nor will this kind of alien ever assimilate; those who killed these three women killed merely for the pleasure of killing, and that sort of killer does not assimilate or reform. ICE is the only solution, and those who oppose ICE, in my opinion, are accomplices to the kinds of murder that took place in Florida, Virginia, and Illinois.
In America, congressmen and those in the Executive take an oath to defend the Constitution, and one of the key points of the Constitution is the obligation of government to “insure domestic Tranquility.” If there was even an instance that meets the definition of upsetting domestic tranquility, it is the murder of Minter, Gorman, and the as yet unidentified woman in Ft. Myers. Florida’s Gov. DeSantis has done all he can to prevent killings like these in his state, but Virginia’s Spanberger seems determined to avoid deportation of dangerous criminals. This qualifies as a violation of her oath of office and grounds for impeachment.
The murder of the Ft. Myers woman in particular, caught on camera and widely broadcast, was a horrible act of violence and a wake-up call for those who oppose the punishment and removal of violent aliens. Nothing will ever make our nation completely safe, but once every violent illegal alien is imprisoned or deported, America will be significantly safer. A reduction in the number of murders in the U.S. is estimated to be in the tens of thousands, and reducing the number of murders by this amount makes the efforts of ICE well worth it. If there was ever proof of the importance of ICE, what has happened in Florida, Virginia, and Illinois is clear evidence of its worth.
