Exclusive | mom of woman allegedly killed by migrant has message for biden following arrest of rachel morin’s accused murderer

A Maryland mom of a young woman allegedly killed by a migrant gang member a year before Rachel Morin’s murder at the hands of another accused migrant has a message for President Biden:

Secure the border. Tammy Nobles, whose 20-year-old daughter was raped and strangled in 2022, told The Post Monday the federal government’s lax border policies are to blame for the

unthinkable tragedies her family and Morin’s loved ones have faced. “It is occurring because Homeland Security and Health and Human Services are not doing their jobs and other agencies in

power like the police and government aren’t doing anything to prevent this,” Nobles said in an interview. “And Biden sure isn’t trying to prevent these types of crimes from happening. He is

the one that is welcoming the illegal immigrants here. “Government agencies, federal and local, need to take responsibility and put American citizens first and not last. Our safety is not

being put first.” EXPLORE MORE Outcry over the country’s porous border has mounted in recent days after accused Salvadoran gang member Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez, 23, was arrested

Friday for the rape and murder of Morin, 37, on a Maryland hiking trail last August. Martinez-Hernandez, who came to the US illegally, is facing first-degree murder and first-degree rape

charges in her death. The sickening crime came a year after Nobles’ daughter, Kayla Hamilton, was allegedly killed in her trailer by a 17-year-old MS-13 gang member who is also from El

Salvador. ------------------------- ------------------------- The teen, who was arrested in January 2023 and is facing a first-degree murder charge, allegedly shared the home with the victim

as he sublet it from another undocumented migrant. “I am incredibly saddened that something like this has occurred again. I understand what Rachel’s mom and family are going through and the

nightmare that they have to endure every day,” Nobles said of Morin’s murder. The devastated mom sued the federal government for $100 million earlier this year, accusing officials of

failing to properly screen her daughter’s murder suspect before he entered the country. Meanwhile, Morin’s alleged killer was already wanted for a previous killing in El Salvador and later,

the assault of a mom and young girl in Los Angeles, authorities said. “My message to Biden would be close the border and start vetting and background checking every illegal immigrant and

start processing the ones that came here the legal way,” Nobles said. “We can’t keep letting everyone in without properly vetting and background checking them.” She said her advocacy on

behalf of her slain daughter and other victims is to “try to prevent tragedies like Kayla’s and Rachel’s.”
