Haitian illegal alien with final order of removal from 2022 was granted temporary protected status by the Biden administration
WASHINGTON – Today, the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) assisted the Fort Myers Police Department (FMPD) in tracking down and arresting Rolbert Joachin—a Haitian illegal alien accused of bludgeoning an innocent mother to death with a hammer, hitting her several times in the head, at a gas station in Florida.
On April 3, FMPD responded to an emergency at a local gas station. 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. The woman was reportedly a store clerk inside the gas station.
FMPD requested the assistance of ICE, and together they successfully located the Haitian illegal alien on Mango Street in Fort Myers.
Joachin first entered the U.S. in August 2022 and was released into the country under the Biden administration. A federal judge issued a final order of removal against him in 2022, but the Biden administration granted him Temporary Protected Status which expired in 2024.
“This illegal alien barbarically hit this woman in the head multiple times with a hammer. This heinous murderer was RELEASED into the country by the Biden administration. Not only did the Biden administration release him into the country, but they then gave him Temporary Protected Status. Their reckless immigration policies cost this woman her life,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “The arrest of this criminal is an example of how ICE and local authorities can work together to swiftly bring criminals to justice and make our communities safer.”
ICE has lodged a detainer against Joachin, and he will be deported regardless of the outcome of this case.
