Former President Trump has directed criticism at the Biden administration’s immigration approach, attributing it to the release of a Haitian migrant accused of brutally murdering a Florida mother in broad daylight. Trump highlighted this incident by sharing distressing footage of the alleged attack.
The suspect, Rolbert Jaochin, aged 40, is accused of fatally assaulting a 51-year-old mother of two with a hammer, leaving her lifeless in the parking area of a Chevron gas station in Fort Myers last Friday morning, based on court documents obtained by The Post.
On Thursday, Trump took to Truth Social, where he expressed his outrage over the “animal” involved in the heinous crime.
In his post, he included an unedited video of the incident, describing it as “one of the most vicious things you will ever see.”
Addressing both Republicans and “Common Sense Americans,” Trump accused President Biden and the Democratic Party of transforming the United States into a “dumping ground.”
He urged for prayers for the victim’s family and promised that swift and harsh justice would be pursued in this case.
The president noted that he wouldn’t recommend watching the 20-second footage capturing the victim’s last moments, but thought he “had an obligation to put it up so that people can see what Democrats are protecting.”
In the harrowing video, Jaochin can be seen pounding the windshield of a black SUV in the gas station parking lot before the victim, an employee of the gas station, walks out of a nearby storefront and says something indiscernible to him.
The alleged monster shouted something back while storming over. As he approached the mother, he jumped up and whacked her in the face with a hammer, the clip shows.
She fell back onto the sidewalk, lying face up and prone as he bludgeoned her six more times, the stomach-turning footage shows.
He then stepped over her body and fled as if nothing had happened, according to the video.
The victim was pronounced dead on that same sidewalk not long after. First responders found her there, lying in a pool of her own blood, according to the court documents.
Jaochin was swiftly taken into custody that same day after several officers recognized him from previous encounters.
He reportedly confessed to the senseless murder. He was charged with homicide, criminal mischief, and damage of property over $1,000.
Police haven’t publicly identified the victim or disclosed a motive.
The Haitian native arrived in the US in August 2022 and was released into the country by the Biden administration, which had granted him Temporary Protected Status, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement placed a detainer on Jaochin after his arrest, ensuring that he will “be deported regardless of the outcome of this case,” DHS said.
