White House Emergency Briefing: Angel Mother Patty Morin Speaks Out as Democrats Defend MS-13 Gang Member
Washington, D.C. — April 16, 2025
In a deeply emotional and urgent press briefing at the White House this afternoon, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stood alongside Patty Morin, the mother of Rachel Morin, a young woman brutally raped and murdered by an illegal alien, to condemn the ongoing glorification of foreign criminals by Democratic lawmakers and corporate media outlets.
The briefing came in direct response to the Democrat-led effort to bring back deported MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia — a designated foreign terrorist.
Democrats Campaigning for an MS-13 Gang Member
As previously reported by The Gateway Pundit, a delegation of Democrat lawmakers — led by Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen — is currently in El Salvador lobbying for Garcia’s release, calling him a “Maryland man” and a “victim of kidnapping.” Despite court records confirming Garcia’s MS-13 affiliation and multiple protective orders filed against him by his wife, Democrats have pushed for his return as though he were an innocent family man unjustly deported.
“This man is not a father-of-the-year figure. He’s a violent criminal who should never have been here in the first place,” Leavitt said. “And while these lawmakers travel the world to fight for terrorists, American families are burying their daughters.”
A Mother’s Pain: Patty Morin Demands Justice
Patty Morin’s voice cracked with emotion as she recounted the horrific loss of her daughter, Rachel Morin, who was raped and murdered by an illegal alien who had previously been deported. Rachel’s story has become a symbol of the deadly consequences of failed immigration enforcement.
“I’m standing here today because my daughter is not,” Morin said. “While politicians defend these criminals, my family will never recover. My daughter will never come home.”
“Rachel had dreams. She had a life. She mattered,” she continued. “And now the same system that failed to protect her is fighting to bring back the kind of monsters who took her from us.”
Press Secretary: “This is a Battle Between Right and Wrong”
Leavitt called out the hypocrisy of Democrats and their media allies, who have ignored the victims of illegal immigration while attempting to humanize gang-affiliated individuals with violent histories.
“They call this man a ‘Maryland dad.’ Let’s be clear: he is a foreign national, an illegal alien, and an MS-13 gang member twice accused of domestic violence by his own wife,” Leavitt said. “And they want him back on our streets.”
“This is not about race or politics. This is about safety, law, and human decency. Rachel Morin deserved better. Her family deserves justice, not open borders.”
A Stark Contrast
While families like the Morins grieve, Democrat lawmakers are overseas defending a man whose deportation was backed by two immigration court rulings, confirming his terrorist gang ties.
In stark contrast, the Trump administration has reiterated its commitment to protecting American families, aggressively pursuing deportations of known gang members, and tightening loopholes that previously allowed criminals to remain in the country.
Final Words from a Heartbroken Mother
As the briefing came to a close, Patty Morin left the room in tears, but not before leaving the press corps with a powerful message:
“Don’t tell me this is about compassion. Compassion is what my daughter needed when she was crying for help. Where were they then?”
The room was silent.
President Trump is expected to address the nation later this week, reaffirming his administration’s crackdown on MS-13 and defending the rights of victims and their families over those of foreign criminals shielded by radical immigration policies.
