Rachel Morin is the Maryland mother of five, just 37 years old, who was murdered in 2023, allegedly by an illegal immigrant who was connected to the extremely violent El Salvadorian gang MS-13. Her brother, Michael Morin, used the opportunity to speak during the second night of the Republican National Convention to speak out about illegal immigration and the Biden Administration.
During his speech, Morin claimed that Biden and Kamala never called to apologize despite the alleged killer being an illegal immigrant that came across the border under their watch. He said, “The monster arrested for killing Rachel entered the U.S. unlawfully after killing a woman in El Salvador. Joe Biden and his designated ‘Border [chief]’ Kamala Harris opened our borders to him and others like him, empowering them to victimize the innocent.” He continued, “Yet, to this day, we have not heard from Joe Biden or Kamala Harris. They never apologized.”
Contrasting that with former President Donald Trump, Michael said that Trump called to speak about the matter and act as a leader. Michael said, “When Rachel was killed, President Trump called my family to offer his condolences. He wanted to meet with us. He cared. That is leadership. And we need real leadership back in the White House.”
He also spoke about the murder itself, saying, “Last year, we lost my beloved sister Rachel. She went for a walk in one of our family’s favorite places. A beautiful trail that was to us a safe place. We pushed our babies in strollers. Walked together as a family. Where my wife and I got married, near what would later become the spot where her body was found.”
He continued, “Rachel, a joyful, accomplished athlete and mother of five, was raped and murdered by a suspected illegal immigrant. Open borders are often portrayed as compassionate and virtuous, but there is nothing compassionate about allowing violent criminals into our country and robbing children of their mother.”
He also spoke about what illegal immigration really is, explaining that, to the families impacted by violent illegal immigrants, open borders are far from compassionate. He said, “Open borders are often portrayed as compassionate and virtuous. But there is nothing compassionate about allowing violent criminals into our country and robbing children of their mother. My sister’s death was preventable.”

Former President Trump, speaking about Morin’s death on Truth Social, wrote, “ANOTHER one of Crooked Joe Biden’s Illegal Immigrant Criminals was just charged with raping and murdering ANOTHER innocent American woman! Rachel Morin was on a run in Maryland, just like Laken Riley was in Georgia, when she was brutally killed by an illegal monster who was wanted for murder in El Salvador and fled to the USA because he knew Crooked Joe would let him in.”
He continued, “Now Rachel Morin’s 5 young children will grow up without their mother because Crooked Joe refuses to shut down the border. As a matter of fact, this week, Biden is preparing to give MASS AMNESTY to hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens! This is unsustainable and can’t be allowed to continue! On day one, we will SHUT DOWN THE BORDER and start deporting millions of Biden’s Illegal Criminals. We will once again put AMERICANS First and MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN! To Rachel Morin’s family and especially her 5 children, May God be with you.”
Rachel’s mom has spoken out about the matter as well. She said, “My message is that these are American citizens. These are the people that help to strengthen our country. These are the men and women that keep our country going, our economy going, our families, our churches.” Continuing, Morin said. “This is the backbone of America. Are who? Us Americans.”
She then further raked the Biden Administration over the coals for its response to her daughter’s death, saying, “And to not even acknowledge that my daughter is a person or, that she’s a female or that she’s a mother, like to categorize her as a statistic. It’s just it just shows how impersonal that they are … how they don’t value life.”
