<p>The Biden administration waved in an illegal immigrant and shielded him from deportation before he allegedly attempted to kill a woman by drowning her at a Florida beach, The Daily Wire has exclusively learned.</p>
<p>Venezuelan illegal immigrant Said Alexander Hernandez Gonzalez, 26, allegedly preyed upon the woman, who was walking as she talked on the phone with her sister on Tiger Shores Beach in Stuart at about 11 p.m. last Thursday, Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said during a Monday press conference.</p>
<p>The Biden administration paroled Hernandez Gonzalez into the United States in 2023 before granting him temporary protected status, preventing federal authorities from deporting him, the Department of Homeland Security told The Daily Wire Thursday.</p>
<p>“Said Alexander Hernandez Gonzalez — a product of the Biden administration’s open-border policies brutally attacked a woman on the beach and attempted to drown and kill her,” Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement shared with The Daily Wire.</p>
<p>“She bravely fought back and survived this wicked attack. ICE has lodged an immigration detainer with the Martin County Sheriff’s office, and because of Florida’s cooperation with ICE, this sicko will never walk American streets again. Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, criminal illegal aliens are not welcome in the U.S.,&#8221; she added.</p>

<p>Hernandez Gonzalez allegedly grabbed the woman by the throat as he pushed her into the ocean and tried to drown her during a 3-5 minute struggle before the woman lost consciousness, according to the sheriff.</p>
<p>&#8220;During that struggle, she punched him, she grabbed his groin area trying to get him to release her,&#8221; Budensiek said.</p>
<p>&#8220;He said he just held her down until she went limp,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>The Venezuelan national then fled the scene, believing that he murdered her, according to the sheriff. She miraculously later awoke on the beach and located an officer nearby to report the attack.</p>
<p>Sheriff&#8217;s deputies searched the area for two days with no success.</p>
<p>But on Sunday night, a woman called the Port St. Lucie police department to report that her boyfriend was &#8220;suicidal,&#8221; Budensiek said. When police responded to the report, they encountered Hernandez Gonzalez, who claimed that he murdered a woman on a nearby beach.</p>
<p>Detectives with the Martin County sheriff&#8217;s office interviewed Hernandez Gonzalez, determining that he was the suspect in the drowning attack, according to Budensiek.</p>
<p>Hernandez Gonzalez told authorities he was at the beach, where he had been smoking marijuana and drinking &#8220;some vodka,&#8221; when he encountered the woman and began attacking her, the sheriff said.</p>
<p>He allegedly told investigators that &#8220;she made him angry, so he attacked her and drowned her&#8221; and that he only &#8220;stopped when he believed she was dead.&#8221;</p>
<p>Before he fled the scene, Hernandez Gonzalez &#8220;grabbed her cell phone and threw it into the ocean,&#8221; according to the sheriff&#8217;s office.</p>
<p>He then returned to his car, where he consumed more marijuana and vodka before leaving the area, authorities said.</p>
<p>&#8220;When asked if he was remorseful, Hernandez Gonzalez stated he felt nothing,&#8221; the sheriff&#8217;s office said.</p>
<p>Hernandez Gonzalez is charged with attempted murder.</p>
