A court in Harford County, Maryland, has sentenced Victor Martinez-Hernandez, an illegal alien from El Salvador, to life in prison for the murder of Rachel Morin, a mother of five. She was jogging on a trail when Martinez-Hernandez forced her to the ground, raped her, and then beat her to death with a rock.
Martinez-Hernandez entered the U.S. illegally in 2023, having been deported three times prior to that entry. During his trial the prosecution presented over 500 pieces of evidence, including DNA samples, which linking him to the crime. Prosecutors also revealed his online searches, which included child pornography and violent content.
Jeffrey Gahler, the sheriff of Harford County, observed that “It shouldn’t be political, but the failure here is the immigration system that allowed this person to enter our country illegally, and remain in our country, and commit crimes.” Illegal aliens like Victor Martinez-Hernandez do jobs that most American criminals refuse to do.
