Three mothers whose children’s deaths were linked to undocumented immigrants describe their relief at the way President Donald Trump is working to secure the border and deport illegal aliens, in a new White House video.
It features Patty Morin, whose daughter Rachel was found dead on a trail in Maryland 18 months ago, giving a sigh of relief.
‘That’s my first reaction,’ she says in the video obtained first by DailyMail.com.
‘Relief that we are finally ridding this country of illegal criminals that have come in, are destroying families, and taking lives.’
It is the second video to feature ‘Angel Moms’ released by the White House in the past 48 hours.
In the first, they condemned actress Selena Gomez for her Instagram post in which she cried over Trump’s plans for mass deportation.
And it illustrated how the Trump White House plans to keep up a stream of campaign-style videos and social media posts as it pursues one of its big policy promises.
The video also features Alexis Nungaray. She has become a national symbol of opposition to illegal migration after her 12-year-old daughter Jocelyn was strangled and dumped in a Houston creek.

Patty Morin’s daughter, Rachel, was killed in August 2023
Two recent Venezuelan migrants have been charged with her murder.
‘Being told that every one of them has committed a crime because they’ve come here illegally—that’s pretty sad to hear that we have allowed so many people to come here illegally,’ Nungaray says.
‘It’s amazing to see people who are fighting for this country to help protect this country.’
In the video she watches Dr Phil on a ride along with immigration officers with ICE in Chicago.
‘You’ve been charged with sex crimes with children?’ he asks a detainee.
‘Not really,’ is the response.
Nungaray expresses her disbelief.
‘It’s either a yes or a no, and that was definite yes without wanting to say yes,’ she says. ‘That’s disgusting.’

The third ‘angel mom’ is Tammy Nobles, the mother of Kayla Hamilton, who was killed and raped in a Maryland mobile home by El Salvadorian national Walter Javier Martinez.
‘The last administration was not vetting and background-checking,’ she says.
‘If they would’ve checked Kayla’s murderer, they would have known that he was a known MS-13 gang member.’
Trump launched a crackdown on illegal immigration after taking office on Jan. 20.
He ordered immigration raids across the country, redeployed military resources to the border and ordered them to enforce deportations while empowering Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to arrest more non-criminals.
It is all part of his plan for what he has called the biggest deportation operation in the nation’s history.
ICE arrests nationwide have increased during the past week with about 900-1,200 people picked up per day, according to the agency. That compares with a daily average of 311 in the preceding year.
