House Judiciary Committee Republicans have launched a probe into the rape and murder of a 20-year-old autistic woman by an alleged MS-13 gang member who was arrested at the US-Mexico border as an unaccompanied minor.
Criticizing the Biden administrations’ ‘open border policies,’ US Reps. Jim Jordan and Tom McClintok demanded the Health and Human Services Department answer for the death of Kayla Hamilton, of Aberdeen, Maryland.
Police said she was raped and stangled to death on July 27, 2022, with police arresting a 17-year-old undocument boy last month for the murder, noting that he is suspected of being a member of the deadly MS-13 gang.
A letter penned to HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra on Tuesday by the GOP reps expressed outrage that the suspect had been arrested when crossing the border, but was released to the custody of his aunt in Frederick, Maryland, 45 miles west of Baltimore.
‘The Biden administration’s open border policies have created vulnerabilities that criminal aliens and gangs member exploit to the detriment of American citizens,’ Jordan and McClintock wrote.
