Former President Donald Trump gave two mothers of immigrant crime victims the opportunity to share their stories of losing loved ones at a campaign event in Arizona on Thursday.
An illegal immigrant who was released by the Biden administration, which appointed Vice President Kamala Harris as border commissioner in 2021, was arrested on suspicion of involvement in the murders of Rachel Morin and Jocelyn Nungarei. Morin's mother, Patty Morin, recounted the phone call she received from a detective informing her of her daughter's murder.

“My daughter's body has been found, and it was just recently revealed that when her body was found, she had been severely beaten, raped and stuffed into a drainpipe,” Patty Morin said after being introduced by President Trump. “We are 1,800 miles from the border, and because of this open border, not only has my daughter died, but two other daughters have died in the same county where illegal immigrants have come in and raped and murdered our citizens. And the reason I came here today and accepted the invitation is because I want us to be heard, and I want you to take what we have to say seriously. We're not here for a political position, but we're here because we're losing our mothers, our daughters, our children to criminals, and it shouldn't happen.”

Authorities in Oklahoma have arrested 23-year-old Victor Antonio Martinez Hernandez on suspicion of raping and killing Rachel Morin on June 14, Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler said during a June 15 bond hearing.

Jocelyn Nungarei's mother, Alexis, also spoke at the event.
“My daughter was only 12 years old. She had dreams of being famous, she wanted to be a famous actor. She was very funny, she had a lot of personality. And, um, it's very painful. On June 17th, her life was taken,” Alexis Nungarei said. “She was naked from the waist down, she was thrown into the bayou, she was left there, she was strangled. We believe from the DNA kit that she was indeed assaulted, but it's still very early on, very raw, very surreal. And, um, there was no reason for what they did to Jocelyn. There should have been over 300 detention beds. They were detained, they were supposed to be there, they were released when they shouldn't have been. One of them had an ankle monitor attached, but it didn't protect them.”
