The family of Kayla Hamilton, a 20-year-old who was brutally murdered by an illegal alien in 2022, is filing a $100 million lawsuit against the Biden government, asserting that their immigration enforcement policies are partially responsible for the murder. Hamilton’s family plans to name the Departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services as defendants.
“We bring this landmark lawsuit in honor of Kayla to get answers on how this catastrophic failure occurred and help prevent another senseless murder,” said Brian Claypool, the lawyer for Hamilton’s mother, Tammy Nobles. “The killer had been arrested in El Salvador in 2020 for being associated with an illicit gang. All DHS had to do was make one phone call to verify this and Kayla would be alive,” Claypool said.
Hamilton was raped and strangled with a phone cord by the illegal alien who had unlawfully entered the United States in March 2022. The alien — who had an MS-13 tattoo and was later confirmed to be affiliated with the international criminal group — was apprehended but deemed an Unaccompanied Child (UC) and released into the population.
Hamilton’s mother testified in front of the House Judiciary Committee last year, “If we had stricter border policies, my daughter would be alive today… I am her voice now, and I am going to fight with everything I have to get her story told.”
