Biden border officials released alleged killer of Chicago student 'due to lack of space,' documents show

The excerpt shows officials encountered Medina-Medina in the El Paso sector of the southern border. The document notes, "the subject was asked and responded that they do not fear harm or persecution should they be returned to their home country." The excerpts also note that Medina-Medina "has close family ties or roots in this country yet are likely to abscond."

Despite this, the excerpts show Medina-Medina was "processed for a Notice to Appear and released on recognizance … due to lack of space."

Committee Republicans wrote that "Democrats knew this man was dangerous and had no legitimate asylum claim. But they still released him."

The firearm Medina-Medina allegedly used to kill Gorman was illegally purchased around February 6, 2008, from a Federal Firearms Licensee in Montgomery, Alabama, according to a charging document.

Fox News Digital reached out to Judiciary Democrats for comment.
