This just in: Rachel Morin’s killer has been sentenced to life in prison, without the possibility of parole. 24-year-old Victor Martinez Hernandez, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, was convicted in the brutal rape and murder of Rachel Morin, a mother of five children. Now, he will spend the rest of his days rotting in prison. Here are the details: Victor Martinez-Hernandez, who was convicted of killing Maryland mother Rachel Morin, was sentenced to life without parole Monday. Martinez-Hernandez was found guilty in April of raping and murdering Morin, a 37-year-old single mother of five who was attacked while jogging on a… pic.twitter.com/JoiBkK3x6A — NewsNation (@NewsNation) August 11, 2025 It’s an absolutely heartbreaking story. But, at least we now have justice. If President Trump had been in the White House back in 2023, perhaps Rachel Morin — and so many other victims of violent, criminal illegals — would still be alive today. While the left chooses to focus on the “poor illegal aliens” who are being deported everyday, President Trump’s administration is working hard to get these maniacs out of our country so that nobody else has to lose a loved one. As DHS Secretary Kristi Noem noted: Today, Rachel Morin’s killer was sentenced to life without parole for her brutal murder. This criminal illegal alien should have never been in our country in the first place. Rachel should still be here watching her 5 children grow up. We hear far too much in the mainstream… pic.twitter.com/VVoKwbnNrP — Secretary Kristi Noem (@Sec_Noem) August 11, 2025 Today, Rachel Morin’s killer was sentenced to life without parole for her brutal murder. This criminal illegal alien should have never been in our country in the first place. Rachel should still be here watching her 5 children grow up.   We hear far too much in the mainstream media about sob stories of gang members and criminal illegals and not enough about their victims.   God bless Rachel,@PattyMorin, and the Morin family. Martinez Hernandez was given the maximum sentence allowed in the state of Maryland, which is two life sentences, and an additional 40 years in prison. He will not be deported to El Salvador to carry out his sentence. CBS News reported: Victor Martinez-Hernandez was found guilty in April of kidnapping, raping and murdering 37-year-old Morin, who was a mother a five. Her body was found off the Ma and Pa Trail in Bel Air on August 6, 2023. He received the maximum sentence for each count, including life without parole for first-degree murder, life for first-degree rape, and 40 years for a sex offense and kidnapping, according to court officials. “Arguably, Harford County has never seen a case or a defendant more deserving of every single day of the maximum sentences this court imposed,” Harford County State’s Attorney Alison Healey said outside the courthouse. Court officials said Martinez-Hernandez will serve his sentence in Maryland and would not be deported back to his home country of El Salvador. According to Healy, this is because judges in Maryland do not have the authority to incarcerate someone in any jail except Maryland Department of Corrections facilities. Rachel Morin’s half sister, Erin Morin Layman, said the sentence doesn’t bring Rachel back, but it does give the family some closure. “There’ll always be an empty void in our lives, and in the children’s lives, but we do get some closure,” Morin Layman said after the sentencing hearing. “So we can move on from this and know he’s not gonna get out. Rachel’s kids are not gonna have to cross paths with him ever again, and hopefully he can turn his life around.” Rachel Morin’s family is thankful that this monster will never be let loose again. WBALTV shared their reactions to the sentencing: “I am grateful for what she gave, which was maximum sentence for everything,” Rachel Morin’s mother, Patty Morin, said outside court after sentencing. “I felt relieved that he’s never going to see the light of day outside of prison and that another person is not going to feel this grief.” “Life, plus life, plus 40, we couldn’t ask for anything better. So, that does give us some closure. It doesn’t bring Rachel back. There’ll always be an empty void in our lives and in the children’s lives,” Erin Layman, Rachel Morin’s sister said outside court after sentencing. “I don’t think justice was possible because justice is Rachel being with her kids and Victor not being here anymore, and that’s not possible. But I think we got the best thing that we could possibly get,” Matt McMahon, the father of Rachel Morin’s oldest child, said outside court after sentencing.

Boston's Suffolk County Sheriff Busted With His Fingers in the Weed Pot

A former Capitol Police chief ripped into Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California after she tried to cite the rioting at the U.S. Capitol when criticizing President Donald Trump's federal takeover of D.C.The former speaker of the U.S. House tried to accuse Trump of trying to distract the public by federalizing police in the District of Columbia and sending in the National Guard in order to shut down crime. 'When I needed assistance, it was denied. Yet when it suited you, you ordered fencing topped with concertina wire and surrounded the Capitol with thousands of armed National Guard troops.'"Donald Trump delayed deploying the National Guard on January 6th when our Capitol was under violent attack and lives were at stake," Pelosi wrote. "Now, he's activating the DC Guard to distract from his incompetent mishandling of tariffs, health care, education and immigration — just to name a few blunders."Steven Sund, who was in charge of the U.S. Capitol Police on Jan. 6, offered a fierce but polite response."Ma'am, it is long past time to be honest with the American people. On January 3, I requested National Guard assistance, but your Sergeant at Arms denied it. Under federal law (2 U.S.C. §1970), I was prohibited from calling them in without specific approval. That same day, Carol Corbin at the Pentagon offered National Guard support, but I was forced to decline because I lacked the legal authority," he wrote."On January 6, while the Capitol was under attack and despite my repeated calls, your Sergeant at Arms again denied my urgent requests for over 70 agonizing minutes, 'running it up the chain' for your approval," Sund added."When I needed assistance, it was denied," he concluded. "Yet when it suited you, you ordered fencing topped with concertina wire and surrounded the Capitol with thousands of armed National Guard troops."Sund's response garnered more than 16,000 likes of support in just a few hours after being published.He had previously fired back at Pelosi in comments to Blaze News that undermined her version of the events on Jan. 6.RELATED: DC mayor will remove Black Lives Matter mural and plaza over pressure from White House "This is Liberation Day in D.C., and we're going to take our capital back," Trump said on Monday. "We're taking it back. Under the authorities vested in me as the president of the United States, I'm officially invoking section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act.""Crime in D.C. is ending and tending today. We are going to use every power we have to fight criminal fear," U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said at the same media briefing.Like Blaze News?
