Trump airs familiar grievances, charts MAGA plan in address before bitterly divided Congress

The mother of Jocelyn Nungaray -- a 12-year-old Houston girl who was sexually assaulted and killed last summer -- is in attendance at tonight's speech.

The two men accused in her assault and death are undocumented immigrants from Venezuela, who Trump called "two illegal alien monsters."

Trump accused former President Joe Biden of allowing the suspects to enter the U.S. through what he slammed as a "ridiculous open border" policy.

During his speech, Trump announced that a wildlife refuge near the victim's home would be renamed the "Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge" in her honor.

Trump asked Congress to help fund "golden dome" over the U.S. akin to Israel's Iron Dome defense system.

But experts told ABC News it wouldn't make much sense for the nation's national security, with allies located to the north and south and oceans on both sides.

Surpassing the one hour mark, Trump’s address is now longer than his first joint session of Congress in 2017, which lasted about one hour.

His 2019 State of the Union speech was one hour and 22 minutes long, which marked the third longest address.

Former President Bill Clinton’s 2000 speech was the longest, sitting at just over one hour and 28 minutes.

Trump called attention to 13-year-old DJ Daniel, who aspires to become a police officer but was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2018.

"The doctors gave him five months at most to live. That was more than six years ago," Trump said. "Since that time, DJ and his dad have been on a quest to make his dream come true."

"And tonight, DJ, we're going to do you the biggest honor of them all. I am asking our new Secret Service Director Sean Curran to officially make you an agent of the United States."

Daniel reacted with a face of shock, before his dad lifted up to the crowd. DJ proudly raised a certificate and was met with claps, chants and cheers.

In one of the rare moments, a Democrat stood in support. Rep. Laura Gillen, rose up and applauded for Daniel.
