President Trump has attributed the recent violent incident involving a Haitian immigrant to the Biden administration’s lenient immigration policies. This immigrant, Rolbert Zhaoqing, 40, is accused of brutally killing his 51-year-old mother in Florida with a hammer in broad daylight.
The attack took place on a Friday morning in a parking lot outside a Chevron gas station in Fort Myers. According to court records, Zhaoqing allegedly struck the woman multiple times, leaving her to die.
On Thursday, Trump shared an extensive post condemning the actions of Zhaoqing, labeling him as “the animal” responsible for the murder. He also included a shocking clip of the incident, expressing that it was “one of the most vicious things I’ve ever seen.”
Trump expressed frustration, urging “Republicans and, frankly, common-sense Americans,” to remember how the Democratic Party has transformed the country. “Please pray for the family of this innocent woman,” he added, asserting that justice would be served in this case.
While Trump advised against watching the disturbing 20-second video, he believed it was important for people to understand the implications of the Democratic Party’s stance on immigration.
The heartbreaking footage shows Zhaoqing banging on a car’s windshield before the victim, who worked at the gas station, emerges from a nearby store. As she seemingly communicates with him, he suddenly attacks her, hitting her with the hammer and subsequently punching her multiple times. The video captures the sad moment as she lies motionless on the ground.
Emergency responders found her unresponsive, surrounded by blood. Zhaoqing was apprehended the same day by officers who recognized him from a prior encounter. He allegedly confessed to reckless homicide and faced charges including murder and criminal mischief.
Documents state that Zhaoqing arrived in the U.S. in August 2022 and was granted Temporary Protected Status by the Biden administration. Following his arrest, Immigration and Customs Enforcement took him into custody, ensuring his deportation regardless of the trial’s outcome.
The police have yet to reveal the victim’s identity or any details regarding a motive for the attack.
