President Donald Trump issued a proclamation at the White House on Monday, establishing Feb. 22 as National Angel Family Day to honor Americans killed by illegal immigrants.

“We’re gathered here today for a truly solemn occasion,” Trump said while welcoming hundreds of family members to the East Room ceremony. "These are the Angel families that we love, that for decades our government betrayed, and our media totally ignored."

The day was chosen in remembrance of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student who was murdered by Jose Ibarra, an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, while she was jogging on the University of Georgia campus on Feb. 22, 2024.

"Laken was viciously attacked, brutally beaten, and murdered by an illegal alien gang member who the last administration heartlessly released into our country," Trump said. "The story is even more tragic because her death was completely preventable."
