First Lady Melania Trump is bringing 15 people to her husband’s address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday evening.

The guests range from families of victims of illegal immigrant crime to a former hostage in Russia and other ‘everyday Americans’ plagued by plights President Donald Trump has vowed to fix over the next four years in Washington.

Trump’s first joint session address of his second term is at 9:00 p.m. on Tuesday evening. He is expected to tout his fast-moving agenda and preview more to come over the remainder of his term under the ‘America First’ priorities.

Notably, the family of Corey Comperatore will sit in the first lady’s guest box at the Capitol. Helen Comperatore and her two daughters Allyson and Kaylee are the widow and children of the firefighter who died after he was shot by would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks at Trump’s Butler, Pennsylvania rally in July.

President Trump brought Comperatore’s uniform on stage at the Republican National Convention just days later and kissed the uniform of the man who lost his life while attending an event supporting his 2024 campaign.

Fifteen-year-old Elliston Berry from Aledo, Texas was the victim of deepfake bullying. Her attendance as a guest of Melania Trump’s is meant to bring awareness to the rise of these attacks using AI image generations.

It comes the day after Melania’s event where she made her first public remarks after returning to the East Wing and spoke out against revenge porn and deepfake images generated by AI.

‘I expected to see more Democrat leaders with us here today to address this serious issue. Surely as adults, we can prioritize America’s children ahead of partisan politics,’ she said of the Capitol Hill event where Rep. Ro Khanna of California was the only Democratic lawmaker attending.

Laken Riley’s mother Allyson and sister Lauren are also special guests of Melania for the president’s remarks.

Riley was a 22-year-old nursing student in Georgia who was murdered by an illegal immigrant during a morning run. The murderer was apprehended for illegally crossing the border but was released into the country under former President Joe Biden’s lax migrant policies.

‘The very first bill President Trump signed into law this year was named in Laken’s honor,’ notes Melania Trump’s announcement on her guest line-up.

Underscoring the importance of addressing the border crisis, the first lady is also bringing as a guest Houston, Texas native Alexis Nungaray, the mother of 12-year-old Jocelyn, who was murdered by two illegal immigrants during a walk to the store in her hometown.

These two individuals were also apprehended and released into the U.S. by Biden’s administration just weeks before they murdered Jocelyn.

Additionally, Roberto Ortiz from Weslaco, Texas is joining the box after he was shot multiple times by cartel members while performing his Border Patrol duties near the Rio Grande River.

Regarding her choices for the guest box this year, the first lady’s office wrote: ‘These men, women, and families come from all different walks of life with incredible stories about the disaster wrought by the previous administration, and the historic achievements President Trump has already enacted to usher in the Golden Age of America.’

The family of Corey Comperatore is also invited as Melania’s guests, including his widow Helen (pictured on right)

American history teacher Marc Fogel is bringing his mother Malphine Fogel, 95, to the remarks as guests of the first lady after President Trump made good on his promise to secure his freedom after he was taken hostage and ‘wrongfully sentenced’ to 14 years in a Russian prison.

It’s typical for the first lady’s guest box at addresses to joint sessions of Congress to include those affected by policies that the president is looking to address.

This year, that includes two individuals impacted by ‘woke’ transgender policies under the previous administration.

Payton McNabb of Murphy, North Carolina was a high school volleyball athlete who suffered a traumatic brain injury in September 2022 after a biological male playing with the women on the opposing team spiked the ball at her face.

She could not go on to play volleyball at the collegiate level like she planned.

President Trump signed an executive order putting an end to the permission of biological men being allowed to compete in women’s sports. Attorney General Pam Bondi has started to warn states like California and Maine against refusing to comply with the law.

To underscore a ban men from women’s sports, Melania Trump is bringing Payton McNabb to the Tuesday address after her collegiate career of volleyball was crush. During a high school game in September 2022, a biological male on the opposing women’s volleyball team spiked a ball into McNabb’s face so hard it resulted in a traumatic brain injury

Additionally, January Littlejohn is a parents’ rights advocate in Tallahassee, Florida who sued her child’s school district after the middle school allowed the biological girl to socially transition to boy without informing her parents.

She will sit with Melania Trump and the other guests at the president’s remarks on Tuesday evening. 

Stephanie Diller from Long Island, New York is the widow of NYPD officer Jonathan Diller. She was invited to the joint address after her husband was murdered at a traffic stop in Queens in March 2024 by a ‘repeat criminal.’

Decatur, Alabama native Jeff Denard is a steel plant worker, volunteer firefighter and good samaritan who provided a foster home to dozens of children and helped organize a natural disaster relief to multiple events, including Hurricane Helene.

And finally, Haley Ferguson from Spring Hill, Tennessee is a former foster child who received a Fostering the Future scholarship from the first lady’s organization Be Best.
