President Trump hosted Angel Families during a White House remembrance ceremony honoring the victims of crime who lost their loved ones to crimes committed by immigrants lacking permanent legal status and foreign criminal organizations. The president signed a proclamation at the conclusion of the event declaring February 22 "Angel Family Day" to honor the families of the victims. Joining the president at the podium were several Angel Family members, including Allyson Phillips, mother of Laken Riley, and Marie Vega, mother of Border Patrol Agent Javier Vega, a Marine veteran who was shot and killed by an immigrant lacking permanent legal status during a family fishing trip.
