Mom of woman killed by MS-13 member to testify before Congress

WASHINGTON (NewsNation) — A mother whose daughter was killed by an alleged MS-13 gang member is set to testify before Congress Tuesday as lawmakers examine the state of the border.

The House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement, chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), will hold a hearing titled The Biden Border Crisis: Part III highlighting illegal border crossings and the case of Kayla Hamilton.

In July 2022, Kayla Hamilton, a 20-year-old woman with autism, was allegedly murdered in Maryland by an unaccompanied 17-year-old listed as an MS-13 gang member in El Salvador who broke into her home.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement said the suspect crossed the border illegally.
