As Venezuelan gangs became this election’s version of CHOP, Haitian nationals were suspected of putting Ohio pets on their dinner menus, and the House GOP hinged government funding on legislation to prevent aliens from voting, the Biden-Harris administration’s hope to blame the crisis on Republicans became even more laughable.
Now, weeks after El Salvadoran national Walter Martinez pled guilty and was sentenced to 70 years in prison for the July 2022 murder of 20-year-old Kayla Hamilton, it was reported that the then 16-year-old had been allowed to enroll in Edgewood High School in Maryland while remaining a suspect.
“Under Maryland law,” reported WBFF, “since Martinez had not yet been charged with murder, he could attend Edgewood High School, and authorities, including CPS, were not required to tell the school about his past.”
As was reported when Martinez was arrested in Jan. 2023, the victim was a young autistic woman who had moved to Aberdeen, Maryland to live with her boyfriend. It took months for the results to come back that confirmed the DNA of the suspect, who had bound Hamilton at the wrists and left her with a phone charging cord wrapped around her neck and mouth. Then an arrest warrant was issued.
“She was just found with a cord wrapped around her neck and her mouth,” the victim’s mother Tammy Nobles told WBFF. “Then just left her on the floor, like trash.”
“They knew he was guilty,” she added as video and audio evidence placed the suspect at the scene. “They just needed that DNA to really lock it in.”
The timeline of events detailed that Martinez was placed in foster care through Child Protective Services at which point he was enrolled in Edgewood until the time of his arrest.
“It makes me angry. You’re sitting there putting this monster into high school with other people’s children, and you’re putting children at risk. Look what he did to Kayla,” said Nobles. “Why did you put him in public school? I want to know why. Somebody needs to be held accountable.”
In a statement to the outlet, Harford County Public School detailed, “There was no information in our possession that would suggest he was a danger to other students and staff. HCPS is not afforded unfettered access to information held by law enforcement which may suggest that a potential student is dangerous, gang-affiliated, or suspected of heinous and disturbing crimes.”
Meanwhile, according to the Harford County State’s Attorney, “Following his arrest, Martinez authored a letter while incarcerated at the Harford County Detention Center where he admitted to committing 4 murders, 2 rapes, and additional other crimes, which was also provided to the court in support of the plea.”
They further detailed that the “unaccompanied minor” had illegally “entered the United States by employing ‘cayotes’ or smugglers in March 2022, just four months prior to this brutal murder.”
Nobles went on to contend, “We need to change the laws. If you’re a suspect, the main suspect of a felony, you should not be able to attend school with other children. They have virtual school and computers.”
Naming the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Health and Human Services, the grieving mother filed suit against the federal government demanding $100 million in damages for failing to prevent Martinez’s entry into the country.
