Overview
- Trump, who posted the uncensored clip Thursday on Truth Social, said the killing proves TPS should end and blamed Biden-era immigration policies.
- Surveillance video shows the man smashing a car, then attacking clerk Nilufa Easmin with a hammer, and DHS had shared a blurred version online.
- Police arrested Rolbert Joachin, 40, the same day, and he is jailed without bond on murder and property-damage charges with an ICE detainer and a May 4 arraignment.
- DHS says Joachin entered the U.S. in August 2022, later received Temporary Protected Status that expired in 2024, and a judge had issued a final removal order in 2022.
- The administration’s effort to end TPS for Haitians was blocked by a federal judge earlier this year, and officials have asked the Supreme Court to intervene as the case fuels a wider political fight.
