A 77-year-old woman woke up at 4 am to a stranger ripping her clothes off inside her own bedroom.
That stranger was an illegal alien from Honduras named Axel Antonio Espinal Herrera – and he was living three doors down.
And what this illegal alien did to a 77-year-old Florida woman will make your blood boil.
What Happened Inside That Mulberry Home
Herrera broke into the woman's home in Mulberry, Florida on August 29 and sexually battered her.
When she tried to escape through the front door, he chased her down, dragged her back inside, and choked her.
Then he fled to a nearby house, jumped in the shower, and waited.
Deputies canvassed the neighborhood and knocked on a door three houses away.
Two occupants answered.
A third was in the shower – matching the victim's description exactly.

She picked him out of a photo lineup.
ICE lodged a detainer against Herrera on the spot.
Then deputies found out the two men who answered the door were also illegal aliens from Honduras.
ICE lodged detainers against them too.
Three illegal aliens from Honduras – all living in the same house – three doors from an elderly woman sleeping alone.
Sheriff Judd Did Not Mince Words
Grady Judd has been Polk County's sheriff since 2005 and he has never been shy about saying what he thinks.
He called Herrera a "very violent, very dangerous ra*ist."
He called the attack "graphically very vile and out of control."
Then he asked the question that answers itself: "He was a young man, 24 years of age, sexually battering a 77-year-old woman after he broke into her house in the middle of the night. Do I need to say more?"
No, Sheriff. You don't.
Herrera now faces forcible sexual battery, kidnapping, burglary with battery, tampering with evidence, cocaine possession, possession of drug paraphernalia, and loitering.
He walked across a border that the Biden administration left wide open – and ended up in a Florida bedroom at 4 a.m.
This Happens Every Single Week
Seventy percent of ICE arrests under President Trump are of illegal aliens charged with or convicted of a crime in the United States – a number that comes straight from DHS.

Just this week, Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin announced another round of arrests and put it plainly: "Just yesterday, ICE arrested pedophiles, ra*ists, kidnappers, robbers, and other dangerous criminals who never should've been here in the first place."
The pattern runs back years.
A Salvadoran MS-13 member who entered the country illegally murdered Rachel Morin – a Maryland mother of five – on a hiking trail in 2023, then was tied by DNA evidence to a home invasion attack on a 9-year-old girl in California months earlier.
In North Carolina, multiple illegal aliens were charged with a violent overnight home invasion involving sexual assault and kidnapping.
In Chicago, ICE lodged a detainer against a Nicaraguan national who grabbed a 54-year-old woman by the hair, dragged her screaming into an alleyway, strangled her, and sexually assaulted her while she was unconscious.
A 77-year-old woman in Florida.
A mother of five on a hiking trail in Maryland.
A woman on a street in Chicago.
The only thing these victims have in common is that a Democrat left the border open and called the people who walked through it "newcomers."
The Three Hondurans Tell You Everything You Need to Know
Herrera wasn't in a forest or hiding off the grid.
He was in a house – with two other illegal aliens from the same country – in a residential neighborhood in Polk County, Florida.

The Biden administration's open border didn't just let criminals in.
It gave them a place to land.
It gave them a network.
It gave them three doors of separation from a 77-year-old woman sleeping alone.
Democrats fight Trump and ICE every single step of the way as they work to find these men and remove them.
The woman in Mulberry had to pick her attacker out of a photo lineup.
She shouldn't have had to know his face at all.
