Mother tells Congress to pass Kayla Hamilton Act to prevent another murder

A Maryland mother whose daughter was killed by an illegal immigrant gang member called on Congress to pass a new bill that would prevent tragedies, akin to her daughter’s, in the future.

Tammy Nobles, the mother of 20-year-old Kayla Hamilton, testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday afternoon that Hamilton’s murder in July 2022 was the result of inadequate screening of illegal immigrants at the southern border and the federal government’s failure to review who it was placing unaccompanied minors with.
