Patty (Patricia) Morin is the mother of Rachel Morin, a Maryland woman who was found murdered in August 2023; she has become a public advocate on immigration and victim‑rights issues and is commonly labeled an “Angel Mom” — a term used by mothers who have lost children to violence (often used in political advocacy around crimes by undocumented immigrants).
She spoke as the “special guest” at an unscheduled White House press briefing in the Brady Briefing Room on April 16, 2025, joining Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt to recount her daughter’s killing.
The remarks were delivered at the April 16, 2025 White House briefing; the YouTube Short in the article is dated January 27, 2026, so the clip was recorded in April 2025 and posted to that Short on Jan. 27, 2026.
A full official transcript of the April 16, 2025 White House briefing remarks is not available in the YouTube Short; longer video recordings of the briefing and coverage exist (network videos and C‑SPAN), but a verbatim White House transcript of her remarks is not published in the clips found.
The YouTube Short was uploaded to the YouTube account that posted it (the video page shows the uploader); the clip itself is an excerpt from the April 16, 2025 White House briefing. Multiple reputable outlets (CBS, PBS, C‑SPAN) carried the original briefing, corroborating the origin, but the short’s uploader is a YouTube account (see the short’s page) rather than an official White House channel.
In the brief excerpt shown she urges media and officials to ‘‘tell the truth’’ and frames her daughter’s death as a public‑safety/immigration issue; across her White House appearance she advocated for stricter immigration enforcement and used her daughter’s case to press for border and public‑safety policies (she is aligned with advocacy by groups and officials pushing those policies).
