Alexis Nungaray, the mother of 12-year-old Jocelyn killed by an illegal immigrant, said Friday that Vice President Kamala Harris gave a “half apology” during her recent interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier.
The mother lost her 12-year-old daughter in June after two illegal immigrants from Venezuela allegedly dumped her body in a creek after sexually assaulting and murdering her. Nungaray said Harris is “full of it” and lacks “empathy” after she told Baier that she is “so sorry for her loss” during the Wednesday interview on “Special Report with Bret Baier.”
“I think she’s completely full of it. She is not a sincere woman at all. She has no sympathy, no empathy to her, she’s supposed to if she wants to run this country and she needs to take into consideration the families that she has affected with these policies that she has allowed and that she has approved,” Nungaray said. “This is unacceptable that she gave me a very empty, half-open apology to thinking she was being sincere to just shift like she always does in every interview, every questionnaire she has, she has to somehow shift it over to Mr. Trump. And that makes absolutely no sense, why can’t you just take accountability like you should and actually try to make a difference? Maybe be humane and actually reach out to families that you have affected.”

Nungaray credited the Biden-Harris administration’s “open border policies” and catch and release programs for the death of her daughter during a Sept. 10 congressional hearing. Federal immigration law under the Biden-Harris administration allows the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to “parole” migrants instead of detaining them for “humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit,” which has been challenged by many Republican-led states.
After playing the clip of Nungaray at the hearing, Baier asked Harris if she owes the families an apology.
“I will tell you that I’m so sorry for her loss,” Harris said. “I’m so sorry for her loss, sincerely. But let’s talk about what is happening right now with an individual [Republican nominee Donald Trump] who does not want to participate in solutions. Let’s talk about that as well.”
The two suspected murderers, Franklin Pena and Johan Martinez-Rangel, were suspected by DHS of being members of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan criminal street gang. Nungaray criticized the administration for releasing the two suspects in the first place if officials felt the need to place ankle monitors on them.
“It’s always made me wonder yes, because why put an ankle monitor on them in the first place? Was anything noticed, did anything come abrupt? I always, now for sure, wonder why did they need one now that this new information has become knowledgeable and has come into the light. It really makes me wonder why, why were they released? Why? This is something that was immediately been thought of, them being Venezuelan natives and it just proves more that what they did was [intentional] and these are the people who we decide to let into this country because of [Harris’] open border policies,” Nungaray continued.
Nungaray spoke about the loss of her daughter alongside Trump and Patty Morin, the mother of 37-year-old Rachel Morin who was also raped and murdered by an illegal immigrant.
