President Trump declared February 22 “Angel Family Day” as he honored families on Monday who lost loved ones to illegal alien crime.
The president’s declaration honors two survivors and 62 individuals killed by illegals, among them Laken Riley, the New York Post reported Sunday.
Riley is the young nursing student who was attacked and killed during a morning jog on the University of Georgia campus. President Trump chose the date, February 22, because Riley was brutally murdered on February 22, 2024.
“It will be the first event of its kind to honor ‘angel families’ who have had loved ones killed by illegal alien criminals, a White House official told The Post,” the outlet said.
President Trump’s declaration honoring the angel families comes the day before he is set to deliver his State of the Union address on Tuesday evening, according to Fox News.
In the wake of former President Joe Biden’s (D) disastrous border policies that wreaked havoc on American communities and citizens, Trump has worked to secure justice for angel families who were victimized by illegal alien crime.
According to press secretary Karoline Leavitt, “The first bill President Trump signed into law was the Laken Riley Act to prevent these senseless tragedies from happening again and to keep innocent American citizens safe. The President and our nation will join Angel Families in honoring the memory of these amazing men and women.”

I like it! A day for REAL victims.
Fantastic.
Well,done PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP !!!
Wonderful Angel families must be remembered. They have needlessly suffered the loss of a member of their family due to illegal immigrant criminals.‘
Joe Biden and his administration brazenly broke our immigration
Laws with their open border policies. They allowed millions of unvetted immigrants into America putting American in great danger. It is sad that Democrats hate Americans so much.
