Venezuelan migrant Daniel Hernandez Martinez, 30, is the latest “poster boy” for Team Biden-Harris and Democrats’ refusal to enforce law after law after futile law when it comes to criminal border crossers.
He was nabbed after a multistate crime spree that began with an illegal gun arrest in Chicago, then a stopover in Denver where he pistol-whipped two women before stealing their jewelry, before hitting the Big Apple.
A suspected Tren De Aragua gang member, he committed at least 22 criminal offenses in New York City from June to November last year.
His transgressions — attacking three strangers and two cops — resulted in eight arrests on 14 different charges.
Yet he got released every time.
When border agents first arrested Hernandez Martinez at the Texas border in January 2023, they suspected he was a Tren gang member and returned him to Mexico under the Trump-era Title 42 COVID expulsion order.
Yet he later made his way back in: There’s always a way under Biden-Harris, with dozens of parole and “passthrough” programs and specific loopholes for “asylum seekers” from over 100 countries.
Then he expertly exploited “sanctuary city” laws across the country to avoid expulsion: At no point during his crime wave and multiple arrests did local authorities turn Hernandez Martinez over to federal immigration enforcement agents for deportation.
In Democratic-run cities, the combo of “sanctuary” rules and “criminal justice reforms” virtually guarantees that migrant criminals get “catch-and-release” treatment, even though cops know the tattoos that signal membership in MS-13, Tren and other vicious gangs.
Meanwhile, Biden-Harris “leadership” aims to keep us all in the dark: Homeland Security officials stonewalled congressional requests for months about Daniel Hernandez Martinez.
Kamala Harris’ spokesfolk have announced she’s abandoned a host of her previous extreme positions — but not a word about breaking with the open-border rules of the last 3½ years, despite all the murders of innocent Americans.
And her chosen No. 2, Tim Walz, is another “wave them all in” enthusiast.
If you want the madness to end, a vote for Donald Trump and J.D. Vance is your only recourse.
