Former President Donald Trump addressed the Turning Point Action USA conference in West Palm Beach, Florida, making strong statements following the arrest of an undocumented migrant linked to the murder of Rachel Morin in Maryland. The incident has sparked heated debates about current immigration policies.
Rachel Morin, a 37-year-old mother of five, went missing on August 5, 2023, during a walk on the Ma and Pa Trail in Bel Air, Maryland. Her body was discovered the following day, leading to a homicide investigation. Victor Antonio Martinez Hernandez, a 23-year-old from El Salvador, was later arrested in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in connection with Morin’s death. He is now awaiting extradition to Maryland to face charges.
Trump condemned the murder and criticized President Joe Biden’s immigration policies. On his Truth Social platform, he wrote, “Another one of Crooked Joe Biden’s Illegal Immigrant Criminals was just charged with raping and murdering another innocent American woman! Rachel Morin was on a run in Maryland, just like Laken Riley was in Georgia, when she was brutally killed by an illegal monster who was wanted for murder in El Salvador and fled to the USA because he knew Crooked Joe would let him in.”

He further pledged decisive action if re-elected: “On day one, we will shut down the border and start deporting millions of Biden’s Illegal Criminals. We will once again put Americans first and make America safe again! To Rachel Morin’s family and especially her 5 children, May God be with you!”
This statement highlights a significant issue in the 2024 presidential election, with immigration and border security expected to be key topics. Trump’s comments resonate with many concerned about crime and the effectiveness of current immigration enforcement.
By promising to “shut down the border” and initiate large-scale deportations, Trump is positioning himself as a candidate focused on strong immigration control and public safety. The arrest of Martinez Hernandez has intensified the debate over immigration policies, with critics of Biden’s approach calling for more stringent measures to prevent such tragedies.
Trump’s commitment to prioritizing American citizens’ safety and his call to make America “safe again” echo his 2016 campaign rhetoric, emphasizing a hardline stance on immigration. For the Morin family, especially her five children, the arrest of the suspect is a step toward justice.
As the election approaches, the focus on immigration and public safety will likely remain at the forefront of the national conversation, shaping voter opinions and influencing future policies.
