Judiciary Republicans tie Biden-Harris 'open borders' policies to brutal murder allegedly by illegal immigrant
Fox News
Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee are blaming the release of an illegal immigrant who allegedly murdered a U.S. citizen in Texas on the policies of the Biden-Harris administration.
Vasquez-Santamaria was charged with murder after being arrested in connection with the homicide that took place last September. The Maverick County Sheriff’s office confirmed that a 40-year-old male had been killed after a struggle and found dead with blunt force injuries to the head at a house in Eagle Pass, Texas. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.

Fox News Digital reported at the time that he had crossed illegally into Eagle Pass in May 2023 and had been released with a notice to appear in court for removal proceedings. Sources stressed to Fox that Border Patrol itself does not determine the release policy of illegal immigrants into the interior, and that agents are carrying out policies set by the Biden administration.
