Earlier on Wednesday afternoon, the White House sent out an update to the emailed Daily Guidance and Press Schedule for the day, adding a press briefling by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt “with a special guest.” What they came up with was a totally genius move.
The press event began with Leavitt laying out the facts about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the alleged “illegal alien MS-13 terrorist” who the U.S. recently repatriated to an El Salvadorean prison–and Democrat Senator Chris Van Hollen rushing to El Salvador Wednesday to seek his release:

Then the PressSec introduced the special guest–one of Van Hollen’s own constituents, Maryland Angel Mom, Patty Morin, whose family has been devastated by the Democrats’ open border policies:
.@PressSec: “It’s appalling and sad that Senator @ChrisVanHollen and the Democrats applauding his trip to El Salvador today are incapable of having any shred of common sense or empathy for their own constituents and our citizens. Nobody knows this more than the woman standing to… pic.twitter.com/EiNoth8zwM

Morin, whose daughter Rachel was killed by an illegal alien, called out Sen. Van Hallen for his callous treatment of her family with his actions:

As we previously wrote, Patty Morin appeared on Sean Hannity’s Fox News program on Tuesday, and recounted the story of Rachel’s murder. (You can read more at the link above, and watch this part of her remarks below, running about nine minutes, also.)
Just before leaving the press room, Morin begged the press corps to “tell the truth” about what has been happening to our national soveignty and Americans’ safety–regardless of political positions or the November election:
Patty Morin: “Please tell the truth. Tell how violent it really is. This is about protecting our children. It’s more than just politics or votes or just anything. It’s about national security, protecting Americans, protecting our children.” pic.twitter.com/q0owp9hp5F

Fox News’ Bill Melugin, one of those who chronicled the Biden administration’s failures at the southerb border on the ground, nails it here:
Patty Morin’s story is excruciating to listen to.
Millions of foreign men came across the border illegally in recent years as gotaways & catch and releases.

This is likely not the last time we will hear about these maddening tragedies. We’ll keep you posted.
Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left’s lies, new legislation wasn’t needed to secure our border, just a new president.
