The incident began when the clerk confronted him after he pounded on her car; he then attacked her with a hammer, leaving her unconscious and killed in front of witnesses who described the brutal act. Joachim had first entered the U.S. in August 2022 and, after initially being released, was later ordered removed. He had remained in the country under Temporary Protected Status, which expired in 2024. DHS officials accused the Biden administration\u2019s immigration policies of allowing his release and TPS status, while florida officials criticized those policies as contributing to crime. Joachim was eventually detained after an ICE-assisted police response, and authorities indicated they woudl pursue deportation after the criminal case. The report includes reactions from local officials and witnesses who described the slaying as deeply disturbing.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A Haitian man who was in the country illegally has been detained after a Florida gas station clerk, who was also a mom, was bludgeoned to death.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement assisted the Fort Myers Police Department in the arrest of Robert Joachim, according to a Department of Homeland Security <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhs.gov\/news\/2026\/04\/07\/haitian-illegal-alien-violently-kills-innocent-mother-repeatedly-hitting-her-hammer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news release<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On April 3, a clerk at a Fort Myers convenience store came out of the store after she witnessed a man pounding on her car, the release said.<\/p>\n<p>The woman was then hit on the head with the hammer multiple times in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/suspect-with-40-prior-arrests-allegedly-assaults-4-year-old-in-times-square\/\" title=\"...

The suspect, Robert Joachim, was arrested with help from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Fort Myers police.

He had stayed in the country under Temporary Protected Status, which expired in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The crime occurred on April 3, when Joachim confronted the clerk\u2019s car and then struck her in the head with a hammer, knocking her unconscious and hitting her six more times. He fled the scene but was later captured with ICE\u2019s assistance. ICE has lodged a detainer to ensure he can be deported no matter the outcome of the criminal case.<\/p>\n<p>DHS officials criticized the Biden administration\u2019s policies, arguing they allowed the situation to happen. Florida\u2019s attorney general also commented, saying open-border policies endanger communities.
