A former federal law enforcement officer says multiple government failures allowed an MS-13 gang member and suspected killer, who has since been convicted of murder, to attend two Maryland public schools.
“My message is be outraged, be mad, be angry and take action,” Mark Morgan, a former FBI agent and the former Acting Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said about what he would tell parents whose children were sitting in class with an MS-13 suspected murderer, and they didn’t know it.
Morgan’s been watching, over the past few weeks, as FOX45 investigated the death of Kayla Hamilton, and how her murderer, Walter Martinez, was allowed to attend two Maryland schools after he killed the 20-year-old in Harford County.
“This is about public safety,” said Morgan. “There were multiple failures in our system.”
According to Morgan, those failures started in March 2022 when Martinez entered the United States illegally through Texas as an unaccompanied minor. When the 16-year-old crossed the border, he was taken into custody by Border Patrol. But Morgan says Martinez was likely not properly vetted as a potential MS-13 gang member before authorities released him to a sponsor’s home in Frederick County, Maryland.
“We should not be releasing them into our country until we have the ability, at least to thoroughly and properly vet this individual to fully understand their criminal background,” Morgan said.
