Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) has been for weeks defending illegal
immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who he has affectionally referred to by
his first name and even dubbed "Maryland man." There's a new "Maryland
man," though, and this one has been charged with murder of his girlfriend,
who was also the mother of two young children.
As Fox News reported, citing the Charles County Sheriff's Office in
Maryland:
The Charles County Sheriff's Office in Maryland announced Monday that 24- year-old Keycy Robinson Alexi Barrera-Rosa was charged with murder in the killing of his girlfriend, Lesbia Mileth Ramirez Guerra, 23, who was
reported missing on March 31. Rosa's uncle, Rolvin Eduardo Barrera-
Barrera, 37, was charged as an accessory.
Deputies said Guerra's body was found on April 17 in a "heavily wooded
area" of the forest just outside of Cedarville State Forest in Prince
George's County, Maryland. Her body was found buried, the officials added.
Guerra was the mother to two young children, officials said.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said its agents arrested Barrera-Rosa on April 5 in La Plata, Maryland, saying he entered the
country illegally and is originally from Guatemala.
According to immigration officials, Barrera-Rosa and Barrera-Barrera were apprehended on April 10, 2019, near El Paso, Texas. They were served
notices to appear before a Department of Justice immigration judge at the
time.
ICE placed an immigration detainer on Barrera-Barrera with the Charles
County Detention Center after he was arrested.
ICE said Barrera-Rosa is being held by the agency at its Farmville
Detention Center in Farmville, Virginia, while he awaits extradition to
the Charles County Detention Center for the murder charge.
According to FOX 5, the sheriff's office found suspicious and unusual
activity at Guerra's home just one day after she was last seen. During
their investigation, authorities found fake federal documents belonging to Barrera-Rosa.
Charles County is in the southern part of the state, and is one of the
state's sanctuary locations for illegal immigrants, as Fox45 News reported
in February of this year.
A subsequent report from Fox News included statements from Van Hollen, who notably responded after press time:
When asked by Fox News Digital about prominent Maryland illegal immigrant violent crimes as of late, Van Hollen responded after press time
Wednesday, saying that "with federal and state leaders working together,
we’ve made strategic investments in public safety that have helped reduce violent crime across Maryland for three years in a row."
"But more needs to be done – because no family should have to endure the
pain of being ripped apart by violence. We will continue working to fight
crime in all its forms and build a stronger, safer Maryland," he said.
Regarding Guerra's murder, he said he "cannot imagine the grief and pain
that the family of Ms. Guerra is feeling right now."
"I thank all of those in law enforcement who have been part of the
extensive search effort and investigation," he added.
He added that it is important to respect the rule of law and that courts
are meant to provide due process rights for all.
"Now, Ms. Guerra’s family and friends, and our community, will see her suspected killer and anyone involved in this crime face justice in a court
of law."
Just as has been the case when Van Hollen was responding to the rape and
murder of another Maryland mother, Rachel Morin, and how another illegal immigrant, this one from El Salvador, was found guilty last week for such crimes, the senator insisted on making his statements political. Does he
really think that the family of the victim, 23-year-old Lesbia Mileth
Ramirez Guerra, wants to hear about a reduction in crime in Maryland right
now? Guerra is still dead. And there Van Hollen goes again, emphasizing
the need for "due process rights" for even those here illegally.
Van Hollen could not be bothered to post about the victim from the X
account he's been using to frequently post about Abrego Garcia, just as
has been the case with how he has not posted about Morin. While Van Hollen
did share a statement to his official website about the conviction of
Victor Martinez-Hernandez in Morin's rape and murder, he has yet to do so
about Guerra's death.
Not only will Van Hollen not post to his X account about Guerra, but he
has posted throughout Wednesday, including still another post on Abrego
Garcia that takes aim at the Trump administration.
