Jocelyn Nungaray. #SayHerName
Video transcript
So I would love to thank Donald Trump for giving us this invitation to be here and to say a few words to the staff that's been so kind to help us in this very hard time. My daughter was just 12. She had dreams to be famous. She wanted to be a famous actor. She was so funny. She was her own personality and it's been very hard. It's been very hard. June 17th was the day her life was taken. She was left with no clothing from the waist down, was thrown in a bayou, left, was strangled to death. We believe, yes, she was assaulted off of DNA kit that has been, but it's still very, very early and it's still very, very raw and it's still very, very surreal. And they had no reason to do anything that they did to Jocelyn. There was over 300 detention beds that they should have been at because they were detained and they were released. When they shouldn't have been released, they had one had an ankle monitor, didn't stop anything. So now I have to go through the rest of my life with my son always asking for his sister. And I just really, really, really want everybody to please take into consideration how important border control is because we're losing very innocent people to heinous crimes that shouldn't be happening in the first place. So please, please, I really hope everybody can hear my pain too. Just please, please, he needs to be in office and we need to, we need better control. We need to stop this. We need to stop losing our littles. We need to start losing children, mothers, sisters, because now I get to grieve every single day. Every milestone that hits gets harder because she's not there for it. She was going to be a seventh grader. She had her whole life ahead of her, her whole life ahead of her and it was viciously taken away by two evil, evil, heinous monsters. So thank you again for taking the time to listen to my words and please help him make a change. Thank you. So Jocelyn is in heaven now looking down on us right now and in her name and her memory we'll be fighting to protect every American daughter and child.
