  • President Donald Trump joined families at the White House to designate an official Angel Family Day, with Jason Riley and Allyson Philips attending the ceremony.
  • With the State of the Union approaching, the administration spotlighted honoring victims while recommitting to a mass-deportation effort and tougher enforcement.
  • White House Director of Communications Steven Cheung criticized CNN and MSNOW for not airing the event live, while CNN prioritized bomb cyclone coverage and MSNOW did not immediately comment.
  • Officials recounted that Jose Ibarra, Venezuelan national and convicted killer, was arrested months earlier for child endangerment with no detainer before Laken Riley's murder.
  • The Laken Riley Act, signed January 29, 2025, directs federal detention and deportation for immigrants arrested for crimes like burglary or theft.
