Trump Blames Biden for Allowing ‘Animal’ Haitian Migrant Accused of Bludgeoning Florida Mother To Death Into US
President Donald Trump on Thursday pointed to immigration policies under the Biden administration following the arrest of a Haitian migrant accused of fatally attacking a Florida mother in a shocking broad-daylight assault, and shared graphic footage of the incident.
According to court records, Rolbert Jaochin, 40, is accused of beating a 51-year-old mother of two with a hammer outside a Chevron gas station in Fort Myers on Friday morning, leaving her mortally wounded in the parking lot.
In a lengthy Truth Social post, Trump denounced the suspect, referring to him as an “animal” responsible for the gruesome killing.
The post also included an uncensored video of the attack, which Trump described as “one of the most vicious things you will ever see.”
“To my fellow Republicans, and frankly all Common Sense Americans, NEVER FORGET that Joe Biden and the Democrat Party turned the United States of America into a dumping ground,” Trump seethed.
“Please say a prayer for this innocent woman’s family. We will ensure quick and severe JUSTICE is served in this case!” he added.
Trump acknowledged the disturbing nature of the footage, saying he would not advise people to watch the roughly 20-second clip but felt compelled to share it so the public could understand “what Democrats are protecting.”
The video shows Jaochin striking the windshield of a black SUV in the gas station lot before the victim, who worked at the station, exits a nearby store and appears to say something to him.
The suspect then responds and quickly approaches her. As he reaches the woman, he leaps forward and strikes her in the face with a hammer, according to the footage.
She collapses onto the pavement, where he continues to hit her multiple times while she lies defenseless, the video shows.
After the attack, he steps over her and leaves the scene, according to the footage.
Emergency responders later found the victim lying on the ground in a pool of blood, and she was pronounced dead at the scene, court documents indicate.
Authorities apprehended Jaochin later that same day, with officers reportedly recognizing him from prior encounters.
Investigators say he admitted to the killing. He now faces charges including homicide, criminal mischief, and property damage exceeding $1,000.
Officials have not publicly released the victim’s identity or provided a motive for the attack.
Federal authorities said the suspect, originally from Haiti, entered the United States in August 2022 and was allowed to remain under Temporary Protected Status granted during the Biden administration.
After his arrest, Immigration and Customs Enforcement lodged a detainer against him, with the Department of Homeland Security stating that he will “be deported regardless of the outcome of this case.”
