Illegal migrant executed California waitress after Biden admin freed him under soft border law

An illegal migrant captured and later released under the Biden
Administration stalked a Sacramento woman for months before executing
her in broad daylight Tuesday, weeks after violating a restraining
order. 

Rohit Rohit, 22, an Indian national in the country illegally, gunned
down 38-year-old Shalini Thakur on Tuesday outside a Panera Bread in
Sacramento before fleeing the scene. 

Just seven minutes later, he shot himself in the head after a standoff
with police about two miles away. 

Department of Homeland Security officials arrested Rohit in August 2023
as he crossed into the US at the Arizona border. But under the Biden
administration‘s soft “order of recognizance” border laws, Rohit was
released just a month later and DHS never heard from him again. 

Then, in 2025, he began stalking and terrorizing Thakur, an IHOP
waitress he met while making Door Dash pickups at her workplace. 

Rohit’s behavior became increasingly disturbing throughout the year,
according to the Sacramento sheriff’s office and court documents. 

He threatened to kill her and himself on multiple occasions. He placed
an Apple AirTag tracking device on her car to monitor her whereabouts,
made a copy of her house key without permission, and showed up at her
workplace daily. He once slashed her tires and then followed her,
offering to change them when she pulled over. 

Sheriff’s deputies said they’d been in contact with Shakur about the
harassment for months before her death, imploring her to get the
restraining order she finally filed in May.  Then in July, he violated
that order by visiting Shakur’s home. 

California’s sanctuary state laws prohibit local law enforcement from
cooperating with federal immigration enforcement efforts, something that
could have led to Rohit being detained or deported after he was reported
to police at least twice before he killed Thakur. 

The horrific slaying has left her shattered family to blame the system.

“I am alone in this world,” Sudesh Kumari told reporters after her
daughter’s death. “Restraining order after restraining order… police did
not protect my daughter.” 

“She loved them all. She loved everyone.”

Federal immigration authorities say he never should’ve been here at all.

“This tragedy would have been completely avoided if it weren’t for the
Biden administration releasing this killer into our country,” a DHS
spokesperson said. “Sanctuary politicians must put an end to reckless
policies that play Russian roulette with American lives.” 

Federal officials said it’s unclear how Rohit came to be in Mexico, or
how he was caught attempting to cross into the US, but he was
apprehended in an arid, remote area near Yuma and booked into custody at
the ICE staging facility in Florence, Arizona, in August of 2023. 

Rohit was held in Florence before being moved to the agency’s processing
center in Folkston, Georgia, in a rural area near the Florida border
that holds about 3,000 adult male non-citizens who are in immigration
proceedings or awaiting deportation. 

He was released in September 2023 for no apparent reason, in a tactic
immigration officials refer to as “catch and release.” 

He then made his way to California, where later he met, stalked and
killed Thakur. 

Former DHS spokeswoman Katie Zacharia said the agency made a mistake by
releasing Rohit instead of returning him to his home country. 

“It is very typical with the Biden ‘catch and release,’” Zacharia said,
“These types of policies kill American citizens or put American
citizens’ lives at risk in one way or another.” 

“These are the types of individuals that ICE and the ERO should be
removing and sending back to their home countries, and yet you get so
much pushback from governors like Gavin Newsom,” she added. 

After Rohit chased and gunned Thakur down in the shopping center
Tuesday, he followed her as she stumbled into a parking lot. As she lay
on the ground, he shot her again in the head at close range.  

He then sped off, but a witness took a photo of his car and sent it to
police, who spotted and stopped him seven minutes later on eastbound on
Highway 50, about two miles away. Rohit engaged deputies in a standoff
before shooting and killing himself in the vehicle. 

Sacramento Sherriff Jim Cooper said only a quick response from law
enforcement prevented Rohit from inflicting more carnage. 

“I believe that individual was headed somewhere else to do someone else
harm,” said Cooper.
