Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis blamed President Joe Biden’s immigration policies for a brutal double murder in Daytona Beach in a press release Wednesday.
Haitian national and illegal immigrant Jean R. Macean allegedly stabbed Terry Aultman, 48, and Brenda Aultman, 55, to death March 6 while they were riding their bikes home, according to the Daytona Beach News-Journal. Macean was arrested in 2019 on drug offenses, but the charges were subsequently dropped, according to another article by the outlet.
“The Biden Administration’s dangerous immigration policies, as well as the soft on crime policies of the 9th Circuit State Attorney’s Office (Orange and Osceola counties), have once again resulted in the needless deaths of innocent Floridians,” DeSantis’ official statement said. “On March 10, 2022, a man named Jean R. Macean, a citizen of Haiti and an illegal immigrant, was taken into custody for the murder of Terry and Brenda Aultman and charged with two counts of first-degree murder. Macean had previously been arrested in Orange County prior to the murders, but the charges were inexplicably dropped by the State Attorney’s Office under former State Attorney Aramis Ayala.”
“Daytona Beach Police Chief Jakari Young described these killings as ‘one of the most vicious attacks I’ve ever seen in my 20 years,’” the statement continued. “‘Floridians should not be subject to the reckless open border policies that the Biden Administration is imposing on this country. These policies are deadly — we also need answers as to why the State Attorney’s Office dropped charges against the defendant’” DeSantis said according to the statement.
“The Aultmans suffered at the hands of an illegal immigrant due to open border policies that are failing our citizens. The Biden Administration announced a new Temporary Protected Status designation for Haiti last year, a reversal of the policy of the previous administration. The policy allowed Macean to stay in the country,” the statement continued
