Senator Marshall Joins The Daily Signal to Discuss Justice for Angel Families Act

Washington, – U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-Kansas) joined Tony Kinnett with The Daily Signal yesterday to discuss the Justice for Angel Families Act, legislation that would amend the Crime Victims Fund (CVF) to expand financial coverage for Angel Families – the immediate relatives of victims killed by illegal aliens, including in drunk driving accidents. This legislation would allow federal funds to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and funeral costs, easing the financial burden on grieving families.

Highlights from the interview include:

On why we need to support Angel Families:

Senator Marshall: “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.

“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. And to your point, to take responsibility that we didn’t keep our families safe.”

On what’s next for immigration reform:

Senator Marshall: “I think that the emphasis, to me, right now is ‘Promises made, promises kept.’ If President Trump was in this conversation today, right now, he would say, and he has looked at me more than once, said, ‘Roger, I campaigned – No. 1 – more than anything else, more than the economy, was securing the border and making your family safe.’

“Now, we need legislation, and I have confidence in President Donald Trump. Maybe in the third or fourth year we could go back and fix our broken immigration system. But in the meantime, part of this big, ‘One, Big, Beautiful Bill’ is $50 billion to finish the wall. And then beyond that there’s another $50 billion for raises for our Border Patrol and bonuses… as well.”

On codifying President Donald Trump’s executive orders:

Senator Marshall: “We rescinded… major orders, regulatory orders of Joe Biden, rolling back regulations, helping set American energy free, help setting American business free as well.

“So, that’s one thing that we have done. Rescission packages are the other opportunity…. What the Department of Government Efficiency work has done here, to turn that into law, it takes a rescission package. The White House has to initiate it. It only takes 50 votes as well. And then beyond that, let’s see.”
