The Consequences of the Biden Harris Administration's Open Borders Policies: The Case of An Illegal Gang Member Terrorizing New York City

WASHINGTON, D.C.- Today, the House Judiciary Committee and its Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement released an interim reportregarding Daniel Hernandez-Martinez, an illegal alien and suspected Tren de Aragua gang member who crossed the border and was released into the country by the Biden-Harris Administration.

According to new, nonpublic information uncovered by the Committee, in early 2023, the Biden-Harris Administration released Daniel Hernandez-Martinez into the United States without any legal justification. Mere months after his release, Hernandez-Martinez began terrorizing New York City, committing at least 22 criminal offenses within a span of just six months. Although Hernandez-Martinez has had a prolific criminal career during his short time in the country and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) records indicate he is a suspected member of the dangerous Tren de Aragua gang, there are no DHS records provided to the Committee indicate that Immigration and Customs Enforcement has removed him from the country.


The disastrous immigration policies of the Biden-Harris Administration have had real-world consequences for American citizens. The effects of those policies will be felt for years to come, with criminal aliens in American neighborhoods harming families and decreasing public safety across the country. Hernandez-Martinez's victims will never be the same because the Biden-Harris Administration allowed him to enter the country. Tragically, Hernandez-Martinez's victims are not alone.
