Photo by Win McNamee\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">WASHINGTON \u2014 President Donald Trump signed a proclamation Monday to honor\u00a0 families whose loved ones were killed by noncitizens, but spent most of the event complaining about his approval ratings and amplifying the falsehood that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While signed Monday,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/presidential-actions\/2026\/02\/national-angel-family-day-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\">the proclamation<\/a> designated the day earlier as one to honor such families, coinciding with the anniversary of the killing of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley on Feb. 22, 2024, by a Venezuelan immigrant. The man was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison for her murder.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The White House event came on the eve of Trump\u2019s State of the Union, where he is expected to not only address immigration policy \u2013 as the Department of Homeland Security has been shut down since Feb. 14 \u2013 but also last week\u2019s Supreme Court decision that found he exceeded his authority for tariffs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Congress is gridlocked on approving annual funding for DHS after an immigration enforcement surge in Minneapolis resulted in the deaths of two U.S. citizens last month.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Trump criticized Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey on Monday for calling for an end to the immigration enforcement operation in his city after Renee Good was shot and killed by a federal immigration officer on Jan. 7.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI watched these people saying, \u2018we want to protect murderers,\u2019\u201d Trump said, mischaracterizing state and local officials\u2019 positions against aggressive immigration enforcement. \u201cI don\u2019t get it, there\u2019s something sick. They\u2019re sick. Can\u2019t have a country like that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">After the second killing, of Alex Pretti on Jan. 24, congressional Democrats withheld support for DHS funding unless constraints could be placed on immigration enforcement tactics.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The proclamation reaffirms the Trump administration\u2019s commitment to its mass deportation campaign, citing the need due to crime committed by noncitizens. Multiple studies have shown that immigrants in the U.S. commit crimes at a lower rate than the U.S. born population,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.migrationpolicy.org\/content\/immigrants-and-crime\" target=\"_blank\">according to the Migration Policy Institute<\/a>, a think tank that studies migration.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Trump largely blamed former President Joe Biden\u2019s immigration policy for creating a crisis.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThey let in everybody,\u201d he said. \u201cThey didn\u2019t check anybody.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>Questioning polls<\/h4>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Trump also expressed anger at various polls on his approval rating. Some, such as one by CNN, have shown Trump\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/s3.documentcloud.org\/documents\/27353615\/cnn-poll-conducted-by-ssrs-donald-trump-approval.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">disapproval at more than 60%<\/a> with approval ratings below 40%, marking the worst numbers of his second term.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cFake polls,\u201d Trump said, without offering evidence. \u201cThey were fake polls, because polls are tough. I saw one today that I\u2019m at 40%. I\u2019m not at 40%. I\u2019m at much higher than that. The real polls say \u2018you kill everybody.\u2019 It wouldn\u2019t even be close. But you go through the fake polls, you go through the fake stories.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Trump also falsely stated that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him, despite then-Attorney General William Barr stating the election was secure and there was no widespread voter fraud. Trump also lost dozens of court cases attempting to challenge the election results.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Trump goaded a mob of his supporters to attack the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in an effort to stop Congress from certifying Biden\u2019s election.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cIt was a rigged election by millions and millions of votes, a guy that never left his basement,\u201d Trump said of Biden, who won the election at the height of the coronavirus pandemic. \u201cCovid was a little bit of a shield. We had a lot of things going on, but it was rigged by millions of votes. We did great in that election. If that election wasn\u2019t rigged, every single one of the people in this room right now would not be here. You\u2019d be home with your son, daughter, family. We had a strong border.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Trump also falsely stated that he was a victim of voter fraud in the 2024 presidential election, but that he still won because \u201cit was too big to rig.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThey cheated like hell,\u201d he said of Democrats.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He criticized mail-in ballots and said it benefited Democrats. Trump said because of that, a national voter ID law is needed, and he pushed for Congress to pass the SAVE Act, which requires proof of citizenship, among other things.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThey won\u2019t approve voter ID,\u201d he said of Democrats. \u201cThey won\u2019t approve proof of citizenship. They won\u2019t approve no mail-in ballots, even though they know it\u2019s crooked as hell.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>Support for Trump immigration agenda<\/h4>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The families, referred to as angel families, have had various loved ones killed by a person who was not a U.S. citizen. In response, they have lobbied for immigration restrictions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI\u2019m sick and tired of hearing these Democratic politicians stand up on these podiums and say how sorry they are for seeing these criminal illegal aliens being ripped apart from their families,\u201d said\u00a0\ufeff\ufeffJody Jones, whose brother was shot and killed by an immigrant.\u00a0\u201cWhat about us? What about the American family?\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Several other family members spoke, including Riley\u2019s mother,\u00a0Allyson Phillips.\u00a0One of the first bills that Trump signed in his second term was a mandatory detention bill for immigrants\u00a0charged and arrested on petty crimes that was named for Riley.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Her murder set off a national debate about immigration during the 2024 presidential campaign because the man charged with her murder, came into the country in 2022, during Biden\u2019s term.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cLaken was the most responsible, hard-working, kind, selfless, beautiful Christian, and she wasn\u2019t somebody that put herself in bad positions,\u201d Phillips said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Some of the family members who spoke also expressed their belief that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Marie Vega, whose son was shot and killed by an immigrant, said she was excited when the 2024 presidential election results came in. She said she fully supports the president and repeated an abbreviation for Trump\u2019s political movement known as Make America Great Again.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cAlthough you were cheated out of the second term \u2014 by the way, you won that election as well, and we know it \u2014 I knew the third term was going to be epic,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd here we are.
