This one’s tough to read without your blood pressure spiking — but it deserves your full attention.
During a House Judiciary Committee markup, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, a Democrat from Texas, casually referred to Kayla Hamilton — a 20-year-old American woman who was raped and murdered by an MS-13 illegal immigrant — as a “random dead person.”
Yes. That’s the phrase she used.
Let’s pause on that for a second. Because this isn’t some Twitter troll typing from their parent’s basement. This is an elected member of Congress. Standing in a hearing. Screaming at her colleagues for daring to name a bill after a murder victim. This is who they are.
🚨 WTF?! Jasmine Crockett just referred to Kayla Hamilton, an autistic girl R*PED AND STRANGLED to death by an El Salvadoran illegal, as a “RANDOM DEAD PERSON”
This piece of trash is out of control.
Kayla would still be alive today without Democrats like Crockett.

Kayla Hamilton wasn’t random. She was someone’s daughter. A young woman with autism. She had dreams, a family, and a future — until an unvetted 17-year-old gang member, here under “Unaccompanied Alien Child” status, strangled her to death with a cell phone charger.
Seventy years in prison is what her killer got. But apparently that still wasn’t enough to earn her name a shred of respect from Congresswoman Crockett.
Instead, we get outrage. Not over the murder. Not over the fact that our system let an MS-13 thug slip through the cracks. No — her fury is aimed at Republicans… for remembering the victim’s name.
“You take a situation, and then you exploit… a random dead person,” she shouted, accusing GOP lawmakers of playing games.
Let’s talk about who’s really playing games here.
Because if your gut reaction to a bill that aims to prevent other Kayla Hamiltons from dying is to attack the name on the cover, maybe you’re not in this for the people. Maybe you’re in it to protect a narrative.
That narrative — the one where the border crisis is just a Republican talking point, and violent crime from illegal immigrants is just a Fox News invention — falls apart when a real victim has a real name and a real mother still grieving.
But here’s where it gets even more disturbing.
Crockett didn’t just dismiss Kayla. She pivoted to talk about the victims of Jeffrey Epstein. She accused Republicans of ignoring those victims. You know, the same ones who’ve been buried by Democrat donor lists, hushed court settlements, and elite media silence for years.
And yet now — suddenly — she’s a champion for them?
This isn’t moral high ground. It’s moral whiplash.
Congressman Russell Fry, who authored the Kayla Hamilton Act, didn’t hold back in his response. He called Crockett’s words “disgusting rhetoric” and “shameful behavior.” He’s right. Because what kind of lawmaker scoffs at the idea of protecting Americans from violent illegals?
Apparently, the kind that sees “border security” as a dog whistle and MS-13 as an inconvenient statistic.
Let’s be crystal clear: the Kayla Hamilton Act doesn’t target immigrants. It targets criminals. It demands background checks before we release unaccompanied minors into American communities. It’s the most basic, common-sense safeguard imaginable.
And yet — for reasons only the open-borders crowd can explain — that’s too much to ask.
Crockett’s tantrum was telling. It wasn’t about policy. It wasn’t about justice. It was about control of the narrative — and the one thing the Left can’t stand is when a real name breaks through their sanitized, slogan-driven messaging.

Because if the American people start connecting the dots — border failure, violent crime, and the body count no one wants to tally — the whole game falls apart.
And that’s why Kayla Hamilton had to be reduced to a “random dead person.”
Not because she was. But because the truth of what happened to her is just too damaging to say out loud.
