Two suspects were identified as illegal immigrants.

“I want to talk about the person who is coming to Houston tonight, not to apologize or highlight illegal alien-related crimes, but to play like a fool on stage with celebrities instead of apologizing to their families,” Perez said Friday afternoon at . event for former President Donald Trump in Austin, Texas.

“He’s someone who likes to brag that he’s a former federal prosecutor who prosecuted international gangs and cartel members,” Perez said. “She knew better, President Trump – she knew better than most – exactly what threat these people and these animals posed. The threat they pose to our community, which will harm our families and the bastards mentioned in these photos, is part of the crime wave in Kamala.”

The Border Guard Association, consisting of approximately 17,000 agents, approved Trump during a campaign rally in Arizona on October 13.

Trump highlighted brutal crimes committed in the U.S. during the Biden-Harris administration, including by gang members from MS-13 and Tren de Aragua, Salvadoran and Venezuelan gangs, respectively, that have established strongholds across the U.S.

Alexis Nungaray, Jocelyn’s mother, joined Trump at the event and said she had not yet heard from Harris after her daughter’s death.

“Kamala Harris never contacted me,” Nungaray said.

In in mid-October Fox News interviewHarris was asked if she owed an apology to Nungaray’s mother and other families.

Also on Friday, Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) during a visit to Houston called on Harris to designate the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua a foreign terrorist organization.

“In fact, today he is in Houston, the same city where innocent 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray was raped and murdered by two members of the Tren de Aragua gang. “Jocelyn, her family and all Americans deserve better,” Abbott said in a statement.

“Vice President Harris must follow Texas’ example and immediately designate Tren de Aragua a foreign terrorist organization,” said Abbott, who declared TDA a foreign terrorist organization in September. “But this is just the beginning. The Biden-Harris administration must use the full power of the federal government to eradicate them once and for all – for Jocelyn and every American.”

Harris is in Texas to shed light on reproductive freedom in a state that banned most abortions after overturning a Supreme Court ruling Roe v. Wade. With the help of Houston native Beyonce, whose song “Freedom” became the Democratic candidate’s campaign anthem, Harris also hopes to support Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX) as he seeks to unseat Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). .

“In just four years as president, Donald Trump was able to erase half a century of dogged progress for women,” Harris is expected to say in excerpts of her remarks. “And now he wants to go even further. Let’s be clear: If Donald Trump wins again, he will ban abortion nationwide.

Trump’s visit to Austin included a taped interview with popular podcaster Joe Rogan. This coincided with an open letter to voters that 200 former federal border and immigration agents signed on Friday endorsing Trump over Harris.
