- President Trump posted a graphic video of a fatal hammer attack in Florida
- Rolbert Joachin, accused of killing Nilufa Easmin, faces murder charges and deportation
- The victim was identified as Nilufa Easmin, a 51-year-old immigrant from Bangladesh with two adult daughters

According to multiple reports, Joachin repeatedly struck Easmin with a hammer outside the gas station. He was arrested shortly after by local police with assistance from ICE. DHS officials stated that Joachin entered the U.S. illegally in August 2022 and had been granted Temporary Protected Status (TPS), which expired in 2024.
Trump posted the video on Truth Social, describing it as "one of the most vicious things you will ever see" and arguing that this incident should be enough to stop what he sees as impediments to his administration's immigration policies. The Trump administration has been critical of TPS, which prevents deportation of immigrants from countries deemed unsafe.
The Biden administration granted Joachin TPS in 2023, but DHS announced that he will be deported regardless of the outcome of his case. A federal judge issued a final order of removal against Joachin in 2022. The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on April 29 regarding TPS for Haitians.
