Today’s press briefing delivered by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was nothing short of a wake‐up call. Standing side by side with grieving mother Patty Morin—the woman who has lost her daughter, Rachel Morin, to a brutal act of violence perpetrated by an illegal immigrant—the message was clear: America is being betrayed at home by an agenda that celebrates criminals over citizens.

In a stark contrast to the liberal media’s callous priorities, Democrats are busy glorifying dangerous individuals like Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Garcia, a deported MS-13 gang member with a criminal history including domestic abuse and violent crimes, has been painted as a victim by left-wing outlets. These same media outlets and their political masters now push to bring him back into the United States, labeling him with misleading terms like “Maryland man”, “father of three”, and even alleging that he was “kidnapped” by immigration authorities. Meanwhile, the heartache of American families, like that of the Morins, is brushed aside.

The liberal narrative conveniently ignores the fact that Garcia is a known MS-13 affiliate—a gang notorious for its barbaric crimes against women and children. Court records reveal that his own wife, Jennifer Vasquez, had to seek protective orders against him in both 2020 and 2021 because of his domestic violence. Yet, instead of holding him accountable, Democrats and their media acolytes focus their attention on portraying him as a symbol of victimhood while American lives continue to be shattered.

Standing resolutely beside Leavitt, Patty Morin delivered a gut-wrenching condemnation of the Biden administration’s open-border policies and the mainstream media’s complicity in this tragedy:

“My daughter Rachel was a beautiful, loving soul who had her whole life ahead of her,” Morin said, her voice trembling with grief and righteous anger. “But because our borders are wide open, a monster was allowed in who took her from me. And now, instead of protecting American families, the media and Democrats are fighting to bring more criminals like him into our country. It’s disgusting.”

Leavitt left no doubt about where the true loyalties of this government lie. Echoing the sentiments of countless patriots across the nation, she sharply criticized the left’s hypocrisy: “While this administration prioritizes the safety of American citizens, the radical left and their media allies are busy romanticizing violent gang members. President Trump has always put America first, and he will continue to fight for justice for victims like Rachel Morin.”

Time and again, President Donald Trump warned Americans about the perils of unchecked illegal immigration, yet Democrats and their media enablers continue to push policies that put dangerous criminals ahead of our families. The contrast has never been clearer: while President Trump stands firmly with the victims of American tragedies, the left seems content to embrace the very criminals who perpetrate them.

The bitter truth is that while the radical left weeps crocodile tears and invents elaborate excuses to exonerate known criminals like Garcia, everyday citizens are left to suffer the brutal consequences of lax border policies. It’s a betrayal of the highest order—a decision that sacrifices the safety and values of our great nation for a fabricated narrative of political correctness.
