The Angel Family of Rachel Morin says they are “deeply touched” after former President Donald Trump called them to offer his condolences. Morin was raped and murdered, allegedly by an illegal alien linked to the MS-13 gang who crossed the United States-Mexico border last year.
On Thursday, Morin’s mother Patty and the family’s attorney Randolph Rice said Trump had made a phone call to them to offer his condolences for their loss.
“I am deeply touched by President Trump’s kindness and concern,” Patty Morin said.
“He was genuine and truly wanted to know how our family was coping,” she continued. “He asked about Rachel and showed honest compassion for her untimely death. His words brought comfort to me during this very difficult time.”
Likewise, Rice said in a press release the family is “thankful for President Trump’s call.”
“Acts like this show the depth of his care for Americans,” Rice said. “His concern for Rachel’s family and his willingness to reach out personally was consoling to the family and means a great deal to us all.”
Rice said Morin’s murder is yet another tragic reminder of the real damage illegal immigration does to the lives of American citizens.
“The need to take immediate action at the border and shutting down the unrelenting flow of illegal immigrants is common sense policy because it protects Americans from future crimes,” Rice said.
“If we can prevent even one murder by an illegal immigrant, then it is well worth it,” he continued. “We must regroup and implement measures at the southern border that prioritize the safety and well-being of all Americans, despite their political party affiliation.”
