As Donald Trump spends much of the week in New York court, his super PAC is back on the air for the first time in over a month with a stark new attack ad in Pennsylvania that coincides with President Joe Biden’s visit this week and slams his immigration policies. Trump and his GOP allies have sought to thrust immigration to the fore of the 2024 campaign, hoping to capitalize on voter discontent with the Biden administration’s record. The ad also began airing the same day that the Senate will consider articles of impeachment against Biden’s Homeland Security Secretary Alexander Mayorkas, whom they have blasted for his handling of the southern border. The new ad from the pro-Trump super PAC spotlights the 2022 case of an undocumented immigrant who assaulted and murdered a 20-year-old autistic woman in Maryland and blames “Biden’s weak border policies.” The Republican-led House Judiciary Committee investigated the case last year, finding that the Biden administration “insufficiently vetted” the perpetrator, who had entered the US. The new ad opens, “A defenseless young girl was brutally raped and killed by an illegal alien and known member of the violent MS 13 gang. It could have been prevented. The killer was detained at the border but released onto our streets by Biden’s weak border policies.” “Biden’s open border puts us all at risk by releasing criminal illegals into our communities,” it says. “We have to stop Joe Biden to close our border.” The high-profile case was one of several factors contributing to Republicans’ push to impeach Mayorkas, which is set to proceed Wednesday as the Senate takes up the case, though the Democratic-controlled body is expected to move quickly to dismiss the charges even as Republicans insist on a full trial.
