An illegal alien accused of sexually assaulting and murdering an 11-year-old girl was freed into the interior of the United States by the Biden-Harris administration just months before allegedly committing the heinous crime, a new report from the House Judiciary Committee confirms.
Juan Carlos Garcia-Rodriguez illegally entered the United States in January 2023 after being smuggled to the border from his home country of Guatemala, the new report from the House Judiciary Committee explains.
Garcia-Rodriguez was 17 at the time and qualified as an unaccompanied alien child, resulting in the Biden-Harris administration’s Department of Homeland Security handing him over to the Department of Health and Human Services to facilitate his resettlement in the interior of the United States.
Garcia-Rodriguez, who stated that he came to the United States “for academic and work opportunities” and “to live a better life,” was then charged with the sexual assault and murder of 11-year-old Maria Gonzalez in Pasadena, Texas, in August 2023, just seven months after being smuggled across the border and allowed to resettle by the Biden-Harris administration.
Gonzalez’s father says that he found his deceased daughter in a trash bag and a laundry basket underneath his bed after the brutal attack. Garcia-Rodriguez first denied involvement in the crime before later admitting that he had committed it, but claiming that he was forced to carry out the assault by two black men who held him at gunpoint.
“The disastrous immigration policies of the Biden-Harris administration have had real-world consequences for American citizens,” the report from the House Judiciary Committee states.
“The effects of those policies will be felt for years to come, with criminal aliens in American neighborhoods harming families and hurting public safety across the country.”
The report details how the Biden-Harris administration resettled the illegal immigrant after he was smuggled into the United States, authorizing him to be given to an unrelated, Louisiana-based sponsor who Garcia-Rodriguez claimed he knew from Guatemala.
An HHS caseworker assigned to Garcia-Rodriguez and his sponsor repeatedly attempted to contact the two as early as March 2023 and officially closed the case in June 2023, just months before the attack. The migrant is believed to have then run away from his sponsor, joining “at least 85,000 UACs of whom the Biden-Harris administration has lost track” before going on to allegedly committing the attack.
Garcia-Rodriguez’s alleged crime against the 11-year-old girl comes amid a broader wave of killings and crimes committed by illegal immigrants. Laken Riley, a Georgia nursing student, was allegedly killed by Jose Ibarra, a 26-year-old illegal immigrant from Venezuela on February 22, 2024.
There’s also the case of Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old girl who is believed to have been murdered by two adult illegal immigrants from Venezuela who entered the United States under the Biden-Harris administration.
Over 10 million people have crossed the border under President Joe Biden, with an estimated 1.7 million illegal immigrant gotaways recorded since he was inaugurated in 2021. There were 415,000 total reported gotaways for 2018, 2019, and 2020 under the Trump administration.
