Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz told Republican Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert on Wednesday that he was unfamiliar with the names of two Minnesotan women allegedly killed by illegal immigrants.
During a House Oversight Committee hearing, Boebert asked Walz if he knew who Victoria Eileen Harwell and America Mafalda Thayer were. Walz said he did not believe he was aware of either victim.

“These are Minnesota women who were brutally killed by illegal aliens in your state,” Boebert said. “You don’t know who they are, so I would also assume that you did not attend their vigils or speak out to their families when they were brutally killed by illegal aliens in your state.”
“I’m not familiar with both of these,” Walz replied. “No, congresswoman.”
Harwell was allegedly killed by Ecuadoran illegal immigrant German Llangari Inga in a vehicular homicide in August of 2024, according to a May 20 Department of Homeland Security press release.
“Despite a lack of cooperation from local Minnesota authorities, ICE arrested criminal illegal alien German Llangari Inga,” former Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin said at the time. “This criminal illegal alien has been evading prosecution for vehicular homicide that resulted in the death of Minnesota mom, Victoria Eileen Harwell.”
“Despite Hennepin County refusing to honor this criminal illegal alien’s detainer TWICE, ICE officers tracked him down and removed this criminal from Minnesota’s streets,” she added. “Tim Walz should be thanking ICE not using despicable rhetoric.”
Thayer was decapitated by Cuban illegal immigrant Alexis Saborit-Viltres in July 2021, Alpha News reported, citing an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) spokesperson.
Walz has supported sanctuary cities and giving driver’s licenses to illegal migrants. He also suggested that ICE was the “modern-day Gestapo” during a May commencement speech at the University of Minnesota law school.
