The following is an excerpt from an opinion editorial written by Mary Rooke for the Daily Caller: An American woman living in Germany needs to be rescued, and only President Donald Trump can make that happen.
The trial for a 20-year-old American citizen in the stabbing death of her alleged sexual assaulter begins this week. German authorities arrested a 20-year-old American female after turning herself into police custody for fatally stabbing 64-year-old African migrant Alem Tekeste, who reportedly sexually assaulted the woman at the Kaiserslautern station in southwest Germany in June 2024.
Apparently, the woman was born in Germany but is an American citizen. She reportedly worked as a civilian contractor at the Ramstein Air Base when the attack occurred. Her name will remain anonymous due to her age.
The woman and her alleged perpetrator were leaving the Kaiserslautern station on June 29 when Tekeste grabbed the woman’s butt. She opened a knife she was carrying with her, making it clear that she would defend herself from his attack. Tekeste then grabbed her knife-wielding arm. The woman broke free from his grasp and then stabbed Tekeste in the heart with her knife. He died from his wounds. She turned herself in to authorities but held firm that she did not intend to kill him. She only wanted to keep Tekeste away from her.
The prosecutors in the case said that despite her account of the sexual assault, they do not think her actions were in self-defense. They charged her with causing bodily harm resulting in death, which carries a possible 10-year prison sentence.
“Can we really consider ourselves the greatest nation on Earth if we allow a country like Germany to control the fate of our citizens? Allowing her to be hung out to dry by a corrupt country puts American citizens all over the world at risk. Being an American should mean something under the Trump administration,” Rooke wrote, concluding the op-ed.
“If nothing else, Trump’s responsibility to protect her will put the rest of the world on notice. If he is serious about “Making America Great Again,” he should send Germany and the rest of the world a message: You won’t be able to take advantage of the U.S. and its citizens on any level anymore,” the author added.
