U.S. Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas recently discussed the Justice for Angel Families Act with Tony Kinnett from The Daily Signal. This proposed legislation aims to amend the Crime Victims Fund (CVF) to provide financial support to Angel Families, who are immediate relatives of victims killed by illegal aliens, including in drunk driving incidents. The act would cover medical expenses, lost wages, and funeral costs.

Senator Marshall emphasized the need for this support: “You know, for every Laken Riley, there’s dozens of other people that have been murdered by violent, illegal criminal aliens. A lot of them, again, is the DUI issue as well."

He added that families are often left with significant financial burdens: “Those loved ones are often left with… funeral bills, with large hospital bills, as well. And this just helps a little bit of a bridge for that family.”

Discussing future immigration reform efforts, Senator Marshall said: “I think that the emphasis, to me, right now is ‘Promises made, promises kept.’ If President Trump was in this conversation today... he would say... more than anything else... was securing the border and making your family safe.”

Marshall also mentioned potential legislative actions: “Now, we need legislation... Maybe in the third or fourth year we could go back and fix our broken immigration system.”

Regarding codifying executive orders from former President Donald Trump, Marshall stated: “We rescinded… major orders... helping set American energy free... Rescission packages are the other opportunity…. What the Department of Government Efficiency work has done here... it takes a rescission package.”
