WASHINGTON, D.C. – The White House shared an updated schedule on Wednesday afternoon with a 4:30 p.m. briefing featuring a “special guest”.
That “special guest” turned out to be the mother of a Maryland woman who was raped and murdered by a fugitive from El Salvador who was in the country illegally.

Patty Morin, the mother of 37-year-old Rachel Morin, described the brutal attack carried out by Victor Martinez-Hernandez in 2023.
Prosecutors alleged that Victor Martinez-Hernandez, 24, was carrying out a planned attack when he grabbed Rachel Morin while she was exercising on a popular hiking trail northeast of Baltimore. They presented DNA evidence connecting him to the crime.
“This person took my daughter, so violently and so gruesomely and so graphically that they sealed the pictures, because I don’t want my granddaughters to see those pictures. These are the kind of criminals President Trump wants to remove from our country,” Morin said.
Martinez-Hernandez was convicted Monday in Rachel Morin’s murder.
