Congressman Biggs Commends Designation of February 23 as Angel Families Day

Today, Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) commended President Donald Trump for designating February 23 as Angel Families Day, honoring the American families whose loved ones were killed by criminal illegal aliens.

For years, Congressman Biggs has stood alongside Angel Families in their pursuit of justice and accountability. Grant's Law, legislation named in honor of Grant Ronnebeck, a 21-year-old Arizonan who was murdered by an illegal alien, was one of the first bills he introduced when taking office in 2017, and he has reintroduced it each session since. The bill seeks to ensure that criminal illegal aliens are detained and deported, not released back into American communities.

Congressman Biggs has also worked closely with Arizona Angel Family members like Steve Ronnebeck, Grant Ronnebeck's father, and Mary Ann Mendoza, whose son Sergeant Brandon Mendoza was killed by an illegal alien driving under the influence. Their advocacy has been instrumental in elevating the human cost of open-border policies and pushing for meaningful reform.

Congressman Biggs remains committed to advancing policies that restore the rule of law, protect Arizona communities, and prevent other families from enduring similar tragedies.

"Angel Families Day is a solemn reminder that border security is not a political talking point-it is a matter of life and death," said Congressman Biggs. "I commend President Trump and the White House for recognizing these families and honoring the memory of the Americans we have lost, and I extend my deepest condolences to all those affected by crimes committed by illegal aliens.

"We must permanently secure our border, enforce our laws, and ensure that criminal illegal aliens are detained and deported. The safety of American citizens must always come first."
