The Salvadoran man was found guilty of first-degree premeditated murder, first-degree rape, third-degree sex offense, and kidnapping.

The Trump administration invited the mother of a Maryland woman killed by an illegal immigrant to address reporters during an April 16 press briefing at the White House.

Patty Morinโ€™s daughter, Rachel Morin, was killed in 2023 by Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez, 24, a Salvadoran man who had entered the country illegally in 2023, authorities said.

The mother of the slain woman called for immediate action to protect communities across the nation.

โ€œWe are American citizens. Why should we allow people like this, violent criminals that have no conscience at all, to murder our mothers, our sisters, our daughters?โ€ Morin said.

โ€œThis is about protecting our children.โ€

On Monday, Martinez-Hernandez was found guilty of first-degree premeditated murder, first-degree rape, third-degree sex offense, and kidnapping.

Rachel Morin, a 37-year-old mother of five, went missing on a popular hiking trail in Bel Air, Maryland, a town northeast of Baltimore, in August 2023, before police ultimately found her body in a wooded area near the trail.

During the press briefing on Wednesday, Patty Morin said their family had walked the same trail for 25 years.

โ€œItโ€™s a safe place for our family,โ€ she said. โ€œItโ€™s where we go to get a little bit of New England.โ€

The heartbroken mother shared graphic details about her daughterโ€™s murder and the violent attack that preceded it.

โ€œThere wasnโ€™t one inch of her body that didnโ€™t have some kind of injury,โ€ Morin said.

She then suggested that itโ€™s common sense to deport illegal immigrants.

โ€œThese are the kind of criminals that we need to remove from our country,โ€ the mother said.

โ€œItโ€™s not that itโ€™s political … we have to look at it as we are American citizens, we need to protect our families, our borders, our children.โ€

The case became a flashpoint in President Donald Trumpโ€™s 2024 campaign, and the president began his second term in office with an aggressive approach to deporting violent criminals.

His administration has repeatedly vowed to target the โ€œworst of the worstโ€ for immediate deportation.
