President Donald Trump shared an extremely graphic video on Thursday of a man he described as “An Illegal Alien Criminal from Haiti” bludgeoning a Florida woman to death, blaming the killing on former President Joe Biden and “the Radical Democrats in Congress.”
“An Illegal Alien Criminal from Haiti, who was released into our Country by the WORST President in History, Crooked Joe Biden, and the Radical Democrats in Congress, just beat an innocent woman to death with a hammer at a gas station in Florida,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
He added, “The video of her brutal slaying is one of the most vicious things you will ever see. This animal was allowed to stay here because the Biden Administration granted him, and all Haitians, ‘Temporary Protective Status,’ a massively abused and fraudulent program.”
The security camera footage from last week shows a woman exiting a Fort Myers gas station before a man attacks her with a hammer and kills her.
The victim, who has not yet been publicly identified, was reportedly a store clerk at the gas station. Her attacker has been charged with murder and identified as 40-year-old Rolbert Joachin, according to court documents obtained by CNN.
The Department of Homeland Security said in a statement Tuesday that Joachin, who is from Haiti, will be deported.
“On April 3, [the Fort Myers Police Department] responded to an emergency at a local gas station,” according to the DHS press release. “Surveillance footage showed that Joachin smashed the victim’s car windshield, approached her, and repeatedly hit her in the head with a hammer—violently killing her in broad daylight.”
Trump, who falsely claimed during his 2024 campaign that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were “eating the pets” of residents, wrote Thursday that “Deranged Liberal District Court Judges” are blocking his efforts to strip them of their temporary protective status.
Trump posted the video of the homicide hours after his wife, first lady Melania Trump, held an unexpected press conference on her ties to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Speculation about the president’s own relationship with the sex offenders has plagued the White House for months.
“I don’t recommend you watch this tape, because it is so terrible, but felt I had an obligation to put it up so that people can see what Democrats are protecting, and wanting to come into our Country, even now, after all we’ve been through,” Trump wrote Thursday.
He added, “Again, viewer discretion advised — Not for children!”
