Angel Mom speaks with Epoch Times about wall in New Mexico

Root was one of dozens of Angel Family members who showed up last week for a ribbon-cutting ceremony in honor of the wall currently being built near El Paso by "We Build the Wall," a group formed by Kolfage to assist President Donald Trump in his mission to secure the border.

"This wall means the world to me," she said. "It makes it like my daughter didn't die in vain. It reignites the fire within me to see what can be done. And to see that private citizens, American citizens, donated to this, and we have wonderful people working on it. Things our government couldn’t do, us American people could come together and do."
