In a heartbreaking interview on Fox News’s “Hannity,” the family of Rachel Morin, a 37-year-old mother of five from Maryland, expressed their anguish and anger over her brutal death at the hands of an illegal immigrant.
The suspect, Victor Martinez Hernandez, 23, is accused of raping and murdering Morin while she was out for a jog on a popular trail near her home in Bel Air.
“It’s a senseless death,” said Patty Morin, Rachel’s mother.
She stated, “Who would expect, almost 2,000 miles from the south border, somebody coming from another country, coming into our small town, and just randomly attacking somebody and brutally murdering them? It’s like we’ve opened our doors and you let a stranger into your house. Who does that? 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.”

Rachel’s brother, Michael Morin, added, “I don’t want to talk politics, but I know how I’m voting this year.”
The family’s comments come as the Biden administration faces mounting criticism over its handling of the border crisis and the surge of illegal immigrants entering the country. Many have accused the administration of rolling back Trump-era policies that had helped stem the flow of illegal immigration.
“This is a tragedy that should never have happened,” said a spokesperson for the Republican National Committee. “The Biden administration’s open-border policies have put American lives at risk, and it’s time for them to be held accountable.”
The White House has yet to comment on the family’s accusations, but the incident has once again put the spotlight on the administration’s handling of the border crisis. As the nation mourns the loss of Rachel Morin, her family’s message is clear: “We need to protect our own.”
