Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump is well known for his tough stance on illegal immigrants and was addressing the vexed topic of border security at a rally in Austin when he was joined by Alexis Nungaray, whose daughter, Jocelyn Nungaray, was killed in June.
Authorities later arrested two Venezuelan nationals, allegedly linked to the Tren de Uruguay gang, for the murder.
Trump blamed the murders on the current immigration policies of the US Government.
Trump stated,
“These monsters were in Border Patrol custody, but under a program Kamala Harris created to abolish detention…they were released into our country. Alexis, we cannot begin to imagine your pain.”
Nungaray detailed the emotional duress she is experiencing after losing her daughter and also expressed her deep gratitude for being allowed to speak.
She said,
“She (Jocelyn Nungaray) was just being a child. Due to the Biden-Harris policies we have here, she’s not here anymore. She was taken from her vulnerability, and they made her a target and ran with that. And now I will forever be a grieving mother and my son will forever be a grieving brother who will no longer get to grow up with his sister.”
Biden Harris Policies to Blame For Jocelyn Nungaray’s Death
Alexis Nungaray also blamed the Biden-Harris policies for her daughter’s death.
She also said that Kamala Harris never reached out to her in her grief.
She added,
“Kamala Harris has never reached out to me, just even as a human, to give her condolences as a humane person running this country. I find it very inconvenient for her to attempt to apologize to me just days before this election.”
Kamala Harris’s Evasive Response
Fox News’ Bret Baier in an interview last week had asked the Vice President if she wanted to apologize to the Jocelyn Nungaray’s family.
The Vice President did not apologize but said she is sorry for the loss.
Kamala said,
“I am so sorry for her loss. I am so sorry for her loss. Sincerely, But let’s talk about what is happening right now with an individual who does not want to participate in solutions. I feel awful for what she and her family experienced,”
Alexis Nungaray’s daughter, Jocelyn Nungaray, was found dead in a creek on June 17.
She had gone to a convenience store at 10 p.m. the night before.
Investigators revealed that she was accosted by two illegal migrants from Venezuela, Johan José Martínez-Rangel and Franklin José Peña Ramos.
Both migrants were arrested in the months before the death of Jocelyn Nungaray but were subsequently released with notices to appear in court.
Jocelyn was only 12 years old when she was found dead in a creek on June 17. Police stated that the duo had assaulted her before strangling her to death under a bridge.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has asked for the death penalty for the criminals.
