EXCLUSIVE — A Virginia woman is suing the Biden administration for $100 million in a wrongful death lawsuit that blames the Department of Homeland Security for the murder of her daughter after Border Patrol agents allegedly released an unaccompanied minor from custody despite his alleged ties to MS-13, the Washington Examiner has learned.

Tammy Nobles, a witness who will appear Thursday before the House Homeland Security Committee in its second impeachment hearing of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, said in a phone call Tuesday that she has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the DHS. Nobles’s suit stems from what she described as the preventable rape and strangulation of her autistic daughter last summer, 20-year-old Kayla Hamilton.
