Tammy Nobles waited more than two years to see the illegal immigrant who killed her autistic daughter be convicted and sentenced to prison.
At the August sentencing of MS-13 gang member Walter Javier Martinez, Nobles had hoped to find a sense of closure and peace over the loss of her 20-year-old daughter Kayla Hamilton but left the courthouse with a feeling of emptiness.
“I didn’t get the relief that I thought I would with him being sentenced because of the fact that she’s still gone,” Nobles said in a phone call with the Washington Examiner on Friday. “Time doesn’t heal everything.”
On Tuesday, Nobles will visit Washington to appear before the House Judiciary Committee in a hearing titled “The Biden-Harris Border Crisis: Victim Perspectives.” Nobles has spoken out, even testified before Congress, about her daughter’s death since her rape and murder in July 2022.
This time, she is desperate for the illegal immigration crisis to stop to prevent another family from losing a loved one following the heartbreaking loss.
