The mother of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, who was brutally murdered in Houston last summer, is speaking out in support of U.S. military action against suspected Tren de Aragua narco-terrorists.
Jocelyn was killed on June 17, 2024, by two illegal aliens from Venezuela reportedly linked to Tren de Aragua — a violent transnational gang spreading from South America into U.S. cities.
“The two men who took my daughter’s life away from her were not from here,” Nungaray’s mother said. “They were released because of Biden’s catch and release policy. They weren’t held until their detention immigration hearing. They were let go. … She should have never encountered them. She should have been able to make it home. She didn’t ask for her life to be ripped away from her.”
Her remarks came after President Trump announced Tuesday that the U.S. military had carried out a strike that destroyed a drug boat in the Caribbean Sea, killing 11 alleged Tren de Aragua operatives.
“Taking down their drug boat yesterday shows real strength. I pray they keep going until every last one of these monsters is off our streets and out of our hemisphere,” Nungaray’s mother told Fox News.
President Trump explained why the smugglers were not captured alive.
“There was massive amounts of drugs coming into our country to kill a lot of people, and everybody fully understands that,” Trump said during a joint press appearance with Polish President Karol Nawrocki. “Obviously, they won’t be doing it again. And I think a lot of other people won’t be doing it again. When they watch that tape, they’re going to say, ‘Let’s not do this,’” Trump said, reported AP News.
