Her sister, Lauren Phillips, told Fox News Digital that she will always speak honoring the memory of her older sister, and will continue to defend “securing our borders”.
“I think it is important to continue to remind people of the importance of securing our borders and what can happen when it is not safe,” Phillips told Fox News Digital.
“We definitely feel hope – we just need to continue to talk about it and keep everyone aware of what happens when nothing happens,” I continued. “I think a lot has been done so far, and I’m grateful for that, but there is still a lot to do.”

“I think that the continuation of the direction that the new administration will go is very beneficial to our country,” she added.

“I really feel important because he did not stop with Lakeen – he continues to happen,” Phillips told Fox News Digital. “I feel that I just tell what is happening to all of these people is not enough.”

“People do not really realize what is really lost every time something happens,” she said.
The Tabs video is the first in a series aimed at achieving “The Truth to Light”.
“The truth is often ignoring the media and politicians,” Tabs, Executive Director of Tabs told Fox News Digital. “The story of Luke Riley is not just a tragedy-it is an invitation to wake up.”
Chiprov said that the tabs “oversee standing with her sister Lauren and courageous families throughout America who turn the pain into the purpose.”
“This documentary is about more than one memory – it relates to difficult accountability, restoring safety and putting the American people first,” said Kibrilov.
In the video, Philips spoke about her sister, her relationship and Iman Riley, while emphasizing that the protection of the border “must be logical.”
“I can talk about it forever,” Philips told Fox News Digital. “I think Lake is just a kind of person you want to be present. It’s the type of person who appears and was not just my sister – she was my best friend.”
“Many people say that her presence has brought a lot of comfort, strength and peace, and I carry a lot of what I taught in my daily life.” “She had an impossible light to ignore it.”
Meanwhile, Trump signed the law of Riley Lake in the law a few days after he took office. This was the first legislation in its second administration.

This measure directs the enforcement of immigration and customs (ICE) to the detention of illegal immigrants who have been arrested or accused of crimes related to theft, or those accused of assaulting a police officer. The law also allows the states to prosecute the Ministry of Internal Security because of the harm that caused its citizens due to illegal immigration.
But Phillips told Fox News Digital that despite the changes in federal law, it is terrifying to wander in the same city where such a tragic thing happened to my sister. ”
Riley was killed near the Georgia University campus in Athens, which is considered an informal resort.
“The laws that have not been placed in their place are still not present in a city where something is very tragic,” said Philips. “I thought what happened to Luke would change that, but nothing has changed there, so I think that continuing to talk about it, not to retreat, and not staying calm, we hope he would do something.”

“I thank God every day that I have a space to share it, and that he gave me the time he did, and I thank him for her faith and sincerity to know that none of this is not compared to what we will give and where is it.”
