>> Todd: DHS IS RESENDING THE
DEPORTATION OF AN ILLEGAL
IMMIGRANT WHO KILLED 19-YEAR-OLD
ADRIAN SOPHIA WHILE DRIVING
DRUNK.
JOINING ME NOW, KIM PAXTON THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL, RON, AND
ADRIAN’S COUSIN.
THANK YOU TO ALL FOR BEING HERE.
RHONDA, AS A PARENT I CANNOT
IMAGINE YOUR PAIN.
WHEN YOU HEARD YOUR DAUGHTERS
KILLER WOULD NOT BE DEPORTED,
WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION?
>> FIRST OF ALL, MY REACTION
WAS, WHY?
I WASN’T TOLD IN THE BEGINNING,
YOU KNOW, THAT HE WASN’T GOING
TO BE DEPORTED, BUT I WAS TOLD
THAT HE WAS, BUT I REALLY WANT
TO KNOW WHY.
>> Todd: DO YOU HAVE ANY SENSE
AS TO WHY?
IS THERE ANY REASON YOU CAN COME
UP WITH AS TO WHY BECAUSE I
CAN’T?
>> THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION.
A VERY GOOD QUESTION.
I WISH SOMEBODY COULD TELL ME.
BECAUSE I MEAN, IT TO ME, AND
NOT BEING DEPORTED, IT IS LIKE,
YOU TELLING ME MY DAUGHTER’S
LIFE DIDN’T MEAN ANYTHING.
>> Todd: I CAN IMAGINE WHAT
THAT FEELS LIKE AS A PARENT.
JUST KNOW THAT YOUR DAUGHTER’S
LIFE DID MEAN SOMETHING MY
WANTED TO MAKE THAT CLEAR.
HOW MUCH OF A DECISION IS THIS
BY DHS?
>> IT IS VERY UNFORTUNATE.
I WAS SHOCKED, ACTUALLY, AND I
THOUGHT HE WOULD BE PUNISHED.
BUT AGAIN, THEY DON’T CARE.
>> Todd: I FEEL LIKE THAT
SENTENCE IS SOMETHING WE HEAR
TOO OFTEN FROM THE VICTIMS AND
THEIR FAMILIES.
WHY DOES THE ADMINISTRATION NOT
SEEM TO CARE ABOUT ME, MY FAMILY
MEMBER IN MY SITUATION.
AG PAXTON, ALEJANDRA MAE ORCA
SAID THEY WILL FOCUS ON THOSE A
THREAT TO PUBLIC SAFETY.
THE GUY KILLED RHONDA’S
DAUGHTER, HOW MUCH MORE OF A
THREAT DOES ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS
NEED TO SEE?
>> APPARENTLY IT DOES NOT
MATTER.
I FEEL SAD FOR THE FAMILY
BECAUSE THE REALITY IS I BELIEVE
BIDEN BETRAYED OUR COUNTRY, OUR
FAMILY THAT ARE LOSING PEOPLE
RIGHT AND LEFT WEATHER TO FOR
INTERNAL WORK CRIMES OR ISSUES
JUST LIKE THIS.
IT IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND.
IT IS HARD TO ANSWER THE
QUESTION WHY AND THE QUESTION IS
WHY THEY HAVE A GREATER GOAL
THAN SAVING MEMBERS OF FAMILIES.
>> Todd: TALK TO ME A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT THE COMMUNITY THAT YOU
LIVE IN IS EXPERIENCING RIGHT
NOW?
HAVE THEY BEEN SUPPORTIVE OF YOU
AND YOUR FIGHT?
>> OH, DEFINITELY, DEFINITELY.
WE HAVE AN OUTPOUR OF LOVE AND
IT’S BEEN AMAZING, ACTUALLY.
>> Todd: WHAT DO THEY WANT TO
SEE HAPPEN TO THE GUY THAT
KILLED YOUR COUSIN?
THE SAME THING, WHAT IS GOING
ON, NOT ONLY THAT HE HIT HER BUT
TOOK OFF AND RAN A PIER THAT IS
THE UNFORTUNATE PART TOO.
>> Todd: RHONDA WHAT IS YOUR
MESSAGE TO THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION WHEN IT COMES TO BORDER POLICIES?
BORDER POLICIES?
>> WELL, MY MESSAGES LOOK OUT
FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FIRST.
BECAUSE TRUTH BE TOLD, THIS IS
LITERALLY MY FIRST TIME VOTING
AND I VOTED FOR YOU AND I FEEL
DISAPPOINTED RIGHT NOW.
AND I DON’T UNDERSTAND.
>> Todd: WHAT DID YOU THINK
JOE BIDEN WAS GOING TO DO FOR
YOU, AND WHAT HASN’T HE DONE FOR
YOU?
>> WELL, I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING
TO TALK FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE,
BASICALLY.
>> Todd: THE YEAR THAT HE’S
BEEN IN OFFICE, WHAT HAVE YOU
EXPERIENCED BESIDES OBVIOUSLY A
TRAGEDY INVOLVING YOUR DAUGHTER
AND THE LACK OF SENDING THIS GUY
THAT DID THIS TO YOUR DAUGHTER
AWAY.
>> ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
I’M SORRY.
I HOPE THAT, YOU KNOW, I’M
WRONG, BUT I DON’T FEEL
ANYTHING.
I DON’T FEEL LIKE HE’S DONE
ANYTHING BUT DISAPPOINT.
>> Todd: AGAIN, I WAS ASKED
THE WHY.
ANY SENSE TO WHY HE HAS NOT DONE
ANYTHING THIS YEAR IN OFFICE?
WHY HE HAS CREATED SITUATIONS
WHERE YOUR DAUGHTERS KILLER GETS
TO STAY IN THE COUNTRY, EVEN
THOUGH HE SHOULDN’T BE HERE?
>> CAN ANYBODY ANSWER THE NEED
THAT?
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY HE DID
THAT.
>> Todd: IT DOESN’T MAKE A
LICK OF SENSE.
SO MANY THINGS THE
ADMINISTRATION IS DOING.
IT IS NOT WHAT THEY PROMISED US
AND IT DOESN’T MAKE A LICK OF
SENSE.
IT IS VICTIMS LIKE YOU, TRANETTE
AND OF COURSE, YOU COME AROUND
AT THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE
CONSEQUENCES.
I WANT TO THANK ALL THREE OF
YOU, TRANETTE, RHONDA, KIM
PAXTON, AND ALLOW INDIVIDUALS
LIKE THE KILLER OF RHONDA’S
DAUGHTER TO STAY IN THE COUNTRY.
KEEP US POSTED AND RHONDA, OUR
