THE MORNING RANT - Border Policy Disgrace: Body of a 14-Year-Old Guatemalan Girl Found Dumped in a Rural Tennessee Parking Lot

A few days ago, the body of a young teenage girl was found dumped in the parking lot of a small-town Tennessee restaurant along the interstate between Nashville and Atlanta. She was from Guatemala according to the local Sheriff.

This is the embodiment of Joe Biden’s immigration and border policies. While we don’t know what horrors this girl endured on US soil before her death, her ordeal almost certainly occurred because the President of the United States and his Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, have allowed and incentivized it to happen.

Trafficking of foreign children on US soil is unthinkably awful, but it is happening. While we don’t yet know the exact circumstances regarding this girl, it’s probably a safe assumption that her body wasn’t left in that parking lot by loving parents.

“Deceased Female Found in the Parking Lot of Monteagle Restaurant” [10/03/2023]

A deceased female was located in the parking lot of Mi Casa Mexican Restaurant in Monteagle on Sunday morning. The restaurant is located near the Marion/Franklin County line.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation released the following information on Sunday afternoon. “At the request of 12th Judicial District Attorney General Courtney Lynch, TBI special agents are working alongside the Marion County Sheriff’s Office to investigate the circumstances leading to the death of a female whose body was found in the parking lot of a restaurant in the 1200 block of West Main Street in Monteagle on Sunday morning.” The TBI added that the body was taken to the state medical examiner’s office in Nashville for an autopsy.

Information is coming out slowly. Early reports said she was from Guatemala, and the TBI has now identified her as a 14-year-old named Nahomi Hernandez.

“Update: TBI identifies teen found dead in Marion County restaurant parking lot” [WTVC – TV 10/11/2023]

UPDATE (Wednesday): The TBI has identified the victim as 14-year-old Nahomi Hernandez. They have not yet provided details about the circumstances surrounding Hernandez's death.

Back in 2021, before the “migrant crisis” started impacting big coastal cities, I wrote about how the Biden administration itself was flying unaccompanied foreign minors to Tennessee, where in at least one case they were turned over to sexual predators.

“Biden Administration Covertly Trafficked “Unaccompanied Children” To Tennessee Then Turned Them Over to Sexual Predators” [Buck Throckmorton – 7/23/2021]

Did you hear about the Biden administration trafficking minor children across state lines into Tennessee in the middle of the night, in defiance of the governor’s refusal to accept “unaccompanied immigrant” children, after which the administration stonewalled questions raised by Tennessee’s Senators. That’s bad, right? It got worse. Some of the children were sexually molested when they reached their destination.

Tennessee’s Senators publicly objected to the Biden administration’s actions at the time, but nothing has changed regarding Biden’s and Mayorkas’ abuse of foreign children. Unaccompanied minors are still welcomed into this country to be left in the care of modern-day slave traders who operate with government acquiescence on US soil.

There is so much evil being perpetrated against children in this country, and it’s being allowed by those who portray themselves to be caring and empathetic.

*****

Let me finish today with something a little less sad.

I discovered this tool to make customized “In This House We Believe” front yard signs:

Like all capital goods, illegal aliens have a paper trail. Somewhere, someone released Hernandez to her pimp. That organization, if it can be located, knows who she is and where she was released. That organization knows where she came from - where the organization itself bought her. The organization that sold her to the penultimate organization knows where she came from, too. This continues all the way back to the cartel operator in Guatemalan village that either bought her from her parents or underwrote her transit El Norte with her parents, who would later sell her to pay the fare.

There is a paper trail on most of the people flooding over the border, it's just hard to find. Easiest to start and the final point and work your way back, but always difficult. But the paper trail is there, because everyone along the line expects to get paid for the goods they're either providing or transporting.

Almost certainly. It's either sex slavery or traditional labor-slavery. Regardless, our government is cooperating fully with the slavers. To the point where the lines are likely indistinguishable.

A few days ago, the body of a young teenage girl was found dumped in the parking lot of a small-town Tennessee restaurant along the interstate between Nashville and Atlanta. She was from Guatemala according to the local Sheriff.

I saw where it's such an organized endeavor that the cartels are assigning bracelets to their slaves. House.gov:

"Mexican cartels treat humans as mere profitable cargo and since 2021, media extensively
reported that cartels require migrants, including children, to wear plastic bracelets before they
cross into the U.S. from Mexico.5 Bracelet colors, decals, and writing, reflect which cartel the migrant owes, how much, and where the migrant is in the smuggling process.6 "

Two things:
1. It might have been stolen, or it might have been given to them by UNRWA. In either case, it is now in Hamas' hands and shows you the downside to a "humanitarian corridor" to Gaza. Just like "humanitarian aid" to various warlord domains in Africa, the good just end up directly in the hands of the warlords, one way or another.
2. That fuel and those supplies will not power the desalination operation, nor will it treat "civilian" wounded. It will power Hamas command bunkers and comms, and will be used to patch up Hamas guerrillas.

Go ahead and condemn it, UNRWA. See how far that gets you without an army to enforce it.

Of course, they also probably don't want to enforce it. UNRWA has been part of the vast Palestine Relief Complex for so long that it's now assuredly part of the problem, too.

Yes. I've had to step away from the anti-trafficking world in a large part because it has become *all* about how if illegals world wide were just allowed in, and given everything their hearts desire, *that* is the "real" way to stop trafficking. It's frustrating because that obviously isn't working and never will. The only people who benefit are the traffickers.

UNRWA is the "United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East"

It was formed during the Israeli war of independence in 1948 and operated inside both "Palestinian" territories and Israel until the early 50s, when the Israeli government took over all internal affairs and invited the UN to leave.

It's an offshoot of the UNCCP (United Nations Conciliation Commission for Palestine), which has been failing to achieve a two-state solution since 1948.

I'm not going to speculate too much on her living conditions prior to her leaving Guatemala, but the routine here that was used by Jizzlane and Jeffrey was to cull these girls from playgrounds and parking lots.

Sure, some are easier to get in the van, but they're given promises that a LOT of 14 year olds would have a hard time turning down. Whether they were from "good families" or not. The reason the Epstein op went after street urchins and other vulnerable girls is so they wouldn't be looked for.

Needless to say, these operations continue, well after Jizzy and Jeff were stopped.

156 Heartbreaking.

I use I-81 to travel Virginia, Tennessee. I've been impressed for years by the presence of State Police &/or other state workers stationed in and around TN rest stops, in addition to an abundance of cameras, in an effort to halt human trafficking. Additionally, there's also prominent signage warning of human trafficking and offering immediate assistance to any and all who use facilities.

Conversely, there also have been sickening cases of women in Pennsylvania & other Mid-Atlantic states being involved with pornography of innocents, connected to areas around Memphis and Nashville. (Surely, it's not just the Mid-Atlantic region involved.) Women, now more than ever it seems, can't be excluded from involvement in human trafficking & travelers need to keep a wary eye for any potential.

I need an amusing lawn sign. Thanks lots. Good post.

I got very lucky when it happened to me. I bought my house and as it was moving toward closing, the landlord sold the property. When it was time to move, it was a couple of months later and a couple of months before the lease was up. I wrote to the new landlord to negotiate terms to break the lease. I was prepared to pay it out, and had reserved against that.

We settled on one month's rent (the outstanding lease was three months) and he also returned my entire security deposit. I did some damage to the place and expected to lose it.

I am sure that he was planning to kick me out anyway and renovate the place to move it up-market and that I ended up doing him a favor by getting out in spring instead of summer, so he made it easy on me. I dodged a bullet and so did he...

189 The hell of it is, my complex was once the jewel of the area back in the late '70s and into the '90s. Everybody who wanted an apartment wanted to live there. During my first tenure, '91 to '97, I lived right above one of the pools, and it was fun to watch the cute ladies sunning themselves.

When I came back to town in 2001, they were installing the so-called "security" fences and gates. It's been a gradual (and now sharper) decline ever since. Pools and gym rooms are now closed and padlocked, there's no after-hours maintenance staff, there's a blizzard of trash outside the back gate, etc.

That stinks and I'm sorry. Probably the best part is that he is so young and is still at that point where there's no cliques or close social groups, only friends.

One of my favorite memories was going up to Pennsylvania to somewhere we'd never been before, and we stopped to have a picnic at a park. Our son got out of the car and asked if he could go play with his friends before he ate. That all begins to change somewhere around 8-10 years old or so, but peer relationships sure are neat up until then.

2) he gets to break it with even more good press
3) it guarantees an appeal as she's limiting his Constitutional rights, and the whole case gets put on hold

I have a 57 Chevy I restored a number of years ago. The cars are pretty to look at and fun to drive. But, they are literal death traps, even at low speeds. That steering column on ALL those older cars usually traveled right up into your head in a left side to left side head on collision. My 70 Chevelle (bought new by me in May 1970) has a collapsible column, along with padded dash and seat belts/shoulder harness. Those were optional in 1957 and later, but very few people ordered them.

227 212 That stinks and I'm sorry. Probably the best part is that he is so young and is still at that point where there's no cliques or close social groups, only friends.

One of my favorite memories was going up to Pennsylvania to somewhere we'd never been before, and we stopped to have a picnic at a park. Our son got out of the car and asked if he could go play with his friends before he ate. That all begins to change somewhere around 8-10 years old or so, but peer relationships sure are neat up until then.

I think what's going to help is that his best friend right now isn't even in any of his classes. They don't share a lunch time or a recess time, and they go to the same school (they were in the same class last year).

That's his strongest personal connection in the area, and it's already kind of severed. He did have a final playdate with the kid last week.

The '59 Chevy was cherry-picked for that demo, because it has an "X" frame, that was weak from the get-go. Cars with normal ladder frames are better able to withstand such front hits. And cars that placed the steering gear and tie rods behind the front cross-member were much less likely to turn the steering column into a javelin.

All Mercedes-concept unitized cars depend on the integrity of sheet metal panels bonded to the subframes for intrusion resistance. An abandoned car rusted away to marginally connected pieces is not a real demonstration of how the car behaved when it was still in operating condition.

Sneering punks like to bitch about the POS beaters handed down to them for free by relatives before they were actual members of the car-purchasing adult world. There is no reason to take them any more seriously now than when they were teenagers.

282 . . . My 70 Chevelle (bought new by me in May 1970) has a collapsible column, along with padded dash and seat belts/shoulder harness. Those were optional in 1957 and later, but very few people ordered them.

My father's '58 Impala had a metal dash, and no belts. I think the '66 Super Sport had safety belts, but he ignored them and tucked them under the seats.

From the day I learned to drive, I've always buckled my belt or harness. It would feel alien not to. And I know too much about inertia to think I could "brace myself" in case of a crash. ("Without that belt, in a crash you might be thrown clear!" "Yeah, and I might land right on my head, too.")

It was a 60-something, I know that much. Bass may well have been 3/4.

It had to be a fastback. In 1971 they did have a sportback. Not sure what they mean by that but the 71s were much bigger overall compared to the late 60s models. Which ever it was, there was no one sitting in the passenger seat.

284 272 I agree with your post, but the actual biblical quote is stronger and more on target, IMO, "The Love of money is the root of all kinds of evil." Money can buy and do good things, and does. The love of it is another matter.

294 after years of riding buses and cadging rides from increasingly reluctant friends,

.. I had a friend in high school who had this nice new Camaro, and he said he always thought people wanted to get rides from him because he had this nice car.
Years later, he finally realized that people really just wanted a ride.

295 I had a friend in a blues band with an upright and a TR3. He had a custom tonneau cover with a fitted sleeve for the bass neck. From a distance to the rear it looked like he had a really skinny girlfriend riding in the passenger seat. Police were often amused.

Actually, the story I had gotten from the Tri-Five Chevy forum I belong to was the car was purchased from a older lady and was totally intact. Not from a junk yard. Again, I own a 57 that I did a frame off restoration on. Those cars are NOT as strong as many surmise. Quite a few guys from classic car clubs have been involved in accidents with newer vehicles and the results were the same as that crash test.

299 In college I worked nights at a glass plant. Had a 69 Custom with a 240 six that was altogether...adequate. Used to give some of the other lowlifes a ride home from the plant to the lower east side as I was on the way to classes 25 miles away (they, to drug-induced bliss, myslef to an ass-draggingly long day of early lab classes and late seminars). After the second or third time they spent the time of the ride talking about what a ripoff cars are (and the rich bastards who own them) I decided I needed that time alone.

301 @296 It's in slow-motion. Witness the rust cloud issuing from inside the '59. That's a cosmetic re-paint, and the IIHS has set you up just like the TV network did with the pickup crash. Rube.

**********

People are jumping all over this as a gotcha, but there are some missing or misrepresented bits of info.

1. It is not known (only presumed) that he got the vaxx.
2. He did the spot for a local public health department video
3. The spot was over three years ago, when he was five, before the COVID vaccines were available
4. No autopsy results have been made available.

Were doctors (including his father and grandparents) pushing for widespread administration of the vaxx? Yes. Does the vaxx cause myocarditis? Yes. Should decision to get the vaxx be voluntary? Absolutely!

But this kid is not your smoking gun.
