Mom sues Biden’s DHS after illegal immigrant MS-13 gang member charged with rape, murder of her autistic daughter

Tammy Nobles, mother of 20-year-old Kayla Hamilton, argues in the lawsuit that DHS failed in their duties to protect her daughter from the 17-year-old gang member, according to News Nation.

Nobles testified last Thursday in front of a House panel that is conducting an impeachment inquiry for DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

The mother stated at the time, "My newly 20-year-old daughter, Kayla Hamilton, was murdered in her own room and left on the floor like trash. The illegal MS-13 known gang member brutally raped and murdered my daughter by strangling her with a cord and robbed her of six dollars. During the attack, Kayla called her boyfriend for help and it went to voicemail. The voicemail of the murderer strangling Kayla was two minutes and 30 seconds long."

“This could have been anyone’s daughter. I don’t want any other parent to live the nightmare that I am living. I am her voice now and I am going to fight with everything I have to get her story told and bring awareness of the issue at the border.”

On Saturday in an interview with New Nation, she opened up about the lawsuit. “Nobody at the border did their job and checked his background,” Nobles said in the interview. Nobles asserted that had DHS properly screened the gang member, it would have revealed that he had MS-13 tattoos which would have led to deportation.

20-year-old Kayla Hamilton had autism and was strangled within few days of her birthday inside a trailer where she slept.

But Nobles and her attorney, Brian Claypool, now say the teen should never have been let into the country in the first place.

“We’re bringing this lawsuit because we’re tired of being held hostage in our own country,” Nobles' attorney told News Nation. “We’re tired of DHS playing Russian roulette with our lives [and] with Kayla’s life."

“All they had to do was follow their own protocol — lift the t-shirt of the 16-year-old young man that was trying to enter the border [and] they would have seen a gang-related tattoo. And guess what? That would have disqualified him from entering this country."

The daughter had subleased a room in the trailer, where she lived with her boyfriend, to the suspect. Hamilton was found deceased by her boyfriend on July 27, 2022. The suspect, an El Salvadorean national, was caught in January 2023 and charged with first-degree murder, rape, and robbery. He is being held without bail ahead of his trial which is set to begin on June 28.
