Donald Trump's call to the mother of a Maryland woman allegedly slain by an illegal immigrant reflects similar outreach to 'angel families' during his 2016 campaign.
Former President Donald Trump's phone call to the mother of a Maryland woman allegedly slain by an illegal immigrant reflects similar outreach to 'angel families' during the 2016 election, an effective strategy that personalized the border issue and kept it front and center in his campaign.
Garcia Zarate, an illegal immigrant from Mexico who would later be acquitted of the murder, had been deported five times and was wanted for a sixth deportation when Steinle was shot. Trump later referred to the not-guilty verdict in the Steinle murder trial as 'disgraceful' and insisted there is 'no wonder' why Americans are 'so angry with Illegal Immigration.
Due to his support for the families, as well as his vow to 'stop' the killings of innocent Americans by illegal immigrants, Trump earned the support of Shaw and many others like him ahead of the 2016 election.
