FORT MYERS, Fla. \u2014 Immigration advocates said the actions of Rolbert Joachin in Florida shouldn\u2019t affect every Haitian in need of protected status in the United States.<\/p>\n
Joachin, 40, who was born in Haiti, was behind bars on Friday after killing Nilufa Easmin, who was born in Bangladesh, on April 3 in Florida\u2019s Lee County, according to the Fort Myers Police Department. <\/p>\n
Easmin, 51, a mother of two, was working as a clerk at a gas station\u2019s convenience store. Fort Myers detectives arrested Joachin hours later, and Lee County correctional deputies booked him. <\/p>\n
\u201cSurveillance footage showed that Joachin smashed the victim\u2019s car windshield, approached her, and repeatedly hit her in the head with a hammer\u2014violently killing her in broad daylight,” a spokesperson from Homeland Security wrote in a statement<\/a> on Tuesday.<\/p>\n Joachin had received a final order of removal in 2022, but former President Joe Biden\u2019s administration allowed him to stay, according to DHS. <\/p>\n \u201cThis animal was allowed to stay here because the Biden Administration granted him, and all Haitians, Temporary Protective Status, a massively abused and fraudulent program which my Administration is working to terminate,\u201d President Donald Trump wrote Thursday night on Truth Social<\/a>. <\/p>\n The Trump administration announced on Friday that Joachin\u2019s TPS was no longer valid, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had issued a detainer on Thursday. <\/p>\n \u201cDeranged Liberal District Court Judges are standing in our way. This one killing should be enough for these Radical Judges to STOP impeding my Administration\u2019s Immigration Policies, and allow us to END THIS SCAM ONCE AND FOR ALL,\u201d Trump wrote Thursday night. <\/p>\n
