The mother of Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old Houston girl allegedly raped and murdered by two illegal immigrants, was shocked to receive a call from President Donald Trump minutes before Thursday’s presidential debate, according to a new report.
Victoria Galvan, best friend of Jocelyn’s mother, Alexis Nungaray, revealed the account in a story released by the New York Post.
“He was like, ‘I’m actually about to come on for a debate’ … He gave his condolences, and he said that he would be reaching back out to her,” Galvan said.
“He wanted to … say that he was praying for Alexis and that he’s been thinking about her and he wanted to reach out. He said that he was going to reach out in a couple days to her … I mean, she was really … we were all shocked,” Galvan said.
Trump also referred to the deadly murder of the 12-year-old at the hands of illegal immigrants during his debate with President Joe Biden.
“And because of his ridiculous, insane and very stupid policies, people are coming in and they’re killing our citizens at a level that we’ve never seen. We call it migrant crime. I call it Biden migrant crime,” Trump said during the Thursday debate.
“They’re killing our citizens at a level that we’ve never seen before. And you’re reading it like these three incredible young girls over the last few days. One of them, I just spoke to the mother, and we just had the funeral for this girl, 12 years old,” he stated.
Alexis also recently shared her concerns during an interview on the Fox News program “Hannity.”
“We have to stop burying our kids. This is not right. We have to have more reinforcement when it comes to letting people in. This is not okay,” she said.
Jocelyn’s grandfather, Kelvin Alvarenga, also spoke out during Hannity’s interview about the border crisis and its impact.
“I would like the people that can make changes to our laws to just sit back, reflect. And I don’t know if we can transmit the pain that we’re having through cameras, but just sit back and reflect and think of all these little angels that shouldn’t have been taken away, and they have, for the reason that we’re not doing what we need to, screening these people,” he stated.
“Like I’ve said before, you’re not going to tell me that, with an ankle monitor, you’re good to go. These people — you don’t wake up one day and decide that you’re going to commit this horrific crime. [These are] people that have come used to doing this type of [thing]. It’s just sad that it happens all over the country. We need a safer country,” he continued.
