HOUSTON — The mother of Jocelyn Nungaray, the 12-year-old girl who was allegedly brutalized and murdered by two illegal migrants, was “shocked” when former President Donald Trump spoke with her 10 minutes before he took the debate stage Thursday, The Post can reveal.

Alexis Nungaray’s best friend, Victoria Galvan, who was with the grieving mother when the two spoke, told The Post that Trump conveyed that there was no one he would’ve preferred to talk to before the debate than her.

“He was like, ‘I’m actually about to come on for a debate’ … He gave his condolences, and he said that he would be reaching back out to her,” Galvan said.

“He wanted to … say that he was praying for Alexis and that he’s been thinking about her and he wanted to reach out. He said that he was going to reach out in a couple days to her … I mean, she was really … we were all shocked,” Galvan said.

After the call, Galvan said she and Alexis, who has been staying with her, were talking about how little Jocelyn would’ve been in disbelief over the former president’s attention to her story.

Jocelyn was allegedly killed by two illegal migrants from Venezuela who have both been charged with capital murder after they tortured her for two hours and dumped her half-naked body into a bayou.

The two suspects crossed the southern border illegally and were released by federal authorities months before Jocelyn was killed.

Trump mentioned speaking with Jocelyn’s family on the debate stage while highlighting several high-profile crimes committed by illegal migrants released into the country under President Joe Biden.
