Haitian migrant charged in murder

The case of Rolbert Joachin, accused of beating a woman to death with a hammer in Fort Myers, has become a major flashpoint in the national debate over border security.

The Department of Homeland Security confirmed that Joachin was in the country under a protected status that has since been scrutinized.

President Trump shared footage of the slaying on social media, claiming it illustrates the 'evil' consequences of current immigration laws.

The incident has prompted calls for immediate legislative changes to facilitate the removal of non-citizens involved in violent crimes.
