President Trump's guests to Tuesday's State of the Union address include the children of a couple allegedly murdered by an illegal immigrant, a child bullied because he has the last name 'Trump', and a recovering opioid addict
The White House on Monday posted a list of those invited by the President to sit in the gallery during the speech at the U
S.Capitol on Tuesday.They include the daughter, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter of Gerald and Sharon David, the Reno, Nevada couple whom authorities allege were killed by an undocumented immigrant who broke into their home last month
Illegal immigrant, 20, accused of murdering four in Nevada home invasion killing spree - including elderly couple who were rodeo enthusiasts U
S.immigration authorities say a man suspected of killing four people in Nevada last month is from El Salvador and entered the United States illegally
Murder suspect Wilbur Martinez-Guzman, 19, had no criminal record or history of previous immigration violations, Immigration and Customs Enforcement said
The agency did not have additional details on his alleged illegal entry to the U.S
,including when and where it occurred.The case shot to national prominence last month after President Donald Trump tweeted about the killings to support his case for the proposed border wall with Mexico
Martinez-Guzman has been linked to the murders of four people in the Carson City area
On January 16, the bodies of 81-year-old Gerald David, and his 80-year-old wife, Sharon (together above in a family photo), were found in their home on the southern edge of Reno Wilbur Martinez-Guzman, 19, was arrested last month in Carson City, Nevada Investigators have not revealed a motive in the case
On the night of January 10, Connie Koontz, 56, was murdered in her home in Gardnerville Ranchos, about 15 miles south of Carson City
Her aging mother, who lived in the home, found her body the next morning.Three days later, 74-year-old Sophia Renken was found dead in her home about a mile from where Koontz lived
Police immediately suspected the two murders were committed by the same suspect due to similarities in the cases
Douglas County Sheriff Dan Coverley said that it was possible that the suspect targeted the women because of their age, gender and the fact that they appeared to live alone
Then on January 16, the bodies of 81-year-old Gerald David, and his 80-year-old wife, Sharon, were found in their home on the southern edge of Reno, about 20 miles north of Carson City
The couple were remembered as longstanding members of Reno's equestrian and rodeo scene
Former Reno Rodeo Association president Tom Cates says he met Gerald and Sharon three decades ago and spent 'many miles and many hours together' on horseback with them
Cates says Gerald David was previously the association's president and promoted a breast cancer awareness campaign by getting cowboys to show they were 'tough enough to wear pink shirts
'Cates also was a member of the local Elks Lodge when David was the group's leader
He says Sharon David was 'exuberant, bubbly, loved animals to the hills.'Cates says the two were also members of a horseback social organization called the Nevada White Hats
Martinez-Guzman has been jailed in Carson City since last month on possession of stolen property, burglary and immigration charges
News reports listed his age as both 19 and 20, but court records show that he will turn 20 on February 2
Authorities have said they expect to file murder charges against him shortly.Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong said at a news conference last month that federal immigration authorities told his office Martinez-Guzman had lived in Carson City for about a year and was in the country illegally
Wilbur Ernesto Martinez-Guzman, 20, has been arrested in connection with the Davids' killing
He is also alleged to have killed two other people.The couple's daughter, Debra Bissell; their granddaughter, Heather Armstrong; and great-granddaughter, Madison Armstrong, will be guests of the President and First Lady Melania Trump
Matthew Charles, who was released from prison after he was sentenced to 35 years for selling crack cocaine and other drug-related offenses, will also be a guest of the White House
Charles 'found God' while incarcerated and also became a law clerk, according to the White House
Delaware boy, 11, forced to drop out of school by bullies and change name because he's called Joshua TRUMP Joshua Trump, 11, has no connection to the president other than sharing his name but has been relentlessly bullied at school for it for more than two years In December, the parents of an 11-year-old boy whose last name is Trump first told how they had to pull him out of school and change his surname because he has been relentlessly bullied for it since the 2016 election
Joshua Trump from Delaware has always used his mother Megan's maiden name as his own
The family has no ties to the president but when he launched his presidential campaign, bullies seized on Joshua at elementary school
The bullying became so bad that his father, Robert Berto, pulled him out of school and home schooled him for a year
When Joshua became old enough to go to middle school, the family reentered him into the mainstream system but they say the bullying started again
They then took the unusual step of having his name changed from Trump to Berto in the school's database
It remains unclear if the family will change his name legally or if his younger sister will go by Trump or Berto
Megan and Robert are married and she uses her husband's surname.'They curse at him, they call him an idiot, they call him stupid,' his mother, Megan, told ABC News
'He said he hates himself, and he hates his last name, and he feels sad all the time, and he doesn't want to live feeling like that anymore, and as a parent that's scary
'The principal of Talley Middle School, Mark Mayers, said the school had changed Joshua's name in its systems and would help him address any other issues in the future
Five children who were responsible for some of the bullying have been disciplined for it
Grace Eline, a young girl who was successfully treated for brain cancer, will also be in the gallery for the speech
As will Ashley Evans, a recovering opioid addict who relapsed after she gave birth to a daughter
Evans is set to mark 13 months of sobriety.Next week, she will be reunited with her daughter full-time, according to the White House
Elvin Hernandez, a special agent who works for the Department of Homeland Security, will be at the speech as well
The President will likely highlight Hernandez's experience in helping combat human trafficking by organized crime groups
Two of the guests are connected to the horrific October 2018 massacre at a Pittsburgh synagogue
Timothy Matson of the Pittsburgh Police Department was part of the SWAT team that responded to the shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue, where 11 people were killed
Judah Samet, a member of the Tree of Life congregation, will also be attending the State of the Union
Samet, a Holocaust survivor who immigrated to Israel after the Second World War and fought in that country's War of Independence, avoided death after arriving four minutes late to the synagogue
He was stopped by police for parking in a handicapped spot.By the time he had arrived to the synagogue, the shooter, Robert Bowers, 46, had already opened fire
Holocaust survivor, 80, cheated death by FOUR minutes when he arrived late to Tree of Life synagogue - 74 years after his train to Auschwitz was diverted to Bergen Belsen where he was liberated by the allies aged 7 Judah Samet, 80, was heading to the Tree of Life Congregation in Pittsburgh on the morning of October 27 when he was stopped parking into a handicapped spot by police
He had arrived to pray at the same place he had for almost 50 years just after Robert Bowers, 46, opened fire on his friends inside
When he was just seven years old Samet and his family were rounded up in Hungary by the Nazi secret police, the Gestapo, in 1944 and put on a train to Auschwitz
But he was re-routed to Bergen-Belsen when Czechs blew up their train tracks.He spent 10 months in the camp before his family was released, just before the Allies liberated the camp
Judah Semet cheated death by four minutes as a gunman opened fire on worshippers at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh on Saturday, October 27 More than 70 years later, he arrived at what he thought was a safe haven to see cops under attack from a man who had spewed anti-Semitic hate online just a few hours before
'There was this guy.Very calm and respectful.[He] told me, you better back up, there is an active shooting going on in your synagogue,' Samet told Jewish news outlet Forward
Samet said he knew the people who were killed during the attack, including 97-year old Rose Mallinger who typically sat behind him
Joyce Fienberg, 75, Richard Gottfried, 65, Jerry Rabinowitz, 66, Cecil Rosenthal, 59, David Rosenthal, 54, Bernice Simon, 84, Sylvan Simon, 86, Daniel Stein, 71, Melvin Wax, 88, Rose Mallinger, 97, and 69-year-old Irving Younger were identified as the 11 victims by Chief Medical Examiner Dr Karl Williams
Samet explained: 'If I was inside the synagogue, I would be in the line of fire,' he said
During the shooting, Samet said he was outside and roughly four feet away from a police officer who was under fire from the attacker's automatic weapon
Samet said a police officer near him opened fire on the attacker, who he could see from outside
He added: 'He was popping his head out from behind a wall and shooting,' Samet said
'He was shooting towards the cop, who was about four feet away from me,' Samet said
He saw the men exchange fire.'I saw smoking coming out of his muzzle.I was in the line of fire'
Some of Samet's relatives were tortured and murdered by Nazis during the Holocaust
He escaped when Slovakians blew up a railroad line transporting him and his family to Auschwitz
Samet's mother was an interpreter who 'saved hundreds of Jews'.He added: 'My mother taught us never listen what they have to say,' he told Forward
Look at their hands.Because words cannot kill you'.Judah Samet pictured shortly after World War Two ended and he moved to Israel with his mother, before later travelling to New York City and settling in Pittsburgh where he now lives He is seen holding a picture of his family around the time they were sent to the camps A memorial of flowers and stars outside the synagogue where 11 people were killed Samet, who lives in the North Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh, has spoken to thousands of people about his experiences during the Holocaust
Samet was born in 1938 in Debrecen, the second-largest city in Hungary.The family of six lived in the Jewish section of town, across the street from the synagogue
In 1944, German Gestapo agents started rounding up Hungarian Jews for deportation to camps across central Europe
The Samets ended up on a train bound for Auschwitz but were rerouted to Bergen-Belsen, in northern Germany, after Czech partisans blew up the railroad, Samet said
Samet, then only 7, spent 10 and a half months at Bergen-Belsen, which started out as a prisoner-of-war camp and became a concentration camp for civilians
On a daily basis, he was given flavored water that was intended to pass as soup, and 'moldy, rock-hard bread'
'Many people just laid down and died, he said.They knew they were eventually going to die, so why suffer?', Samet told the Rochester Times earlier this year
An estimated 50,000 people, including Anne Frank and her sister, Margot, perished there, according to the US Holocaust Memorial Museum
Just before the arrival of the Allies, German officers announced that they needed 2,500 prisoners to leave Bergen-Belsen by train
At the insistence of his mother, Rachel, Samet and his family boarded a train with an unknown destination
'Later, I asked her, 'Why did you put us on the train?' and she said it was the difference between the sure thing and the maybe thing,' he told the Rochester Times
When he was just seven years old Samet and his family were rounded up in Hungary by the Nazi secret police, the Gestapo, in 1944 and put on a train to Auschwitz
But he was re-routed to Bergen-Belsen when Czechs blew up their train tracks.He spent 10 months in the camp before his family was released, just before the Allies liberated the camp
The White House has also invited Joshua Trump, who is of no relation to the President
According to the White House, Joshua has been 'bullied in school due to his last name
' Joshua's parents have told of how they had to pull him out of school and change his surname because he has been relentlessly bullied since the 2016 election
His father, Robert Berto, home schooled him for a year.When Joshua became old enough to go to middle school, the family reentered him into the mainstream system but they say the bullying started again
Now they have taken the unusual step of having his name changed from Trump to Berto in the school's database
The Trumps have also invited Alice Johnson, a mother-of-five, grandmother-of-six and great-grandmother of one who was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole after being convicted of drug dealing in 1996
It was her first conviction and some of her co-conspirators testified against her in exchange for plea deals
At the urging of Kim Kardashian, President Trump commuted Johnson's sentence.She was freed from prison in June after serving 22 years behind bars
Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's guest for the State of the Union address is a woman who cornered Sen
Jeff Flake on live television to protest his support for Brett Kavanaugh.Ana Maria Archila, who lives in the star freshman Democrat's New York District, said she will wear white and a pin that the congresswoman gave her that says, 'Well-behaved women rarely make history
' 'I never thought I'd be excited about being in the same room with Donald Trump,' said Archila, co-executive director of the left-leaning Center for Popular Democracy
Ocasio-Cortez invited her a few weeks ago, she said, adding, 'We talked about making sure that we, with our presence, express the dignity of people who are under attack from this administration, the resilience
We will try to communicate that with the way we show up in the space.' Kavanaugh, now a Supreme Court justice, is also expected to attend Trump's address
Justices typically attend such speeches delivered by the president who appointed them
During Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings in September, Archila and another woman confronted Flake in a Senate elevator and, live on CNN, yelled at the Arizona Republican for his intent to vote for the appellate court judge
Kavanaugh had been accused by Christine Blasey Ford of pinning her to a bed and groping her when the two were teenagers in the 1980s
Flake later said he wanted to delay the Senate vote to give the committee time to investigate
He ultimately voted to confirm Kavanaugh and is now retired from the Senate.Kavanaugh angrily denied the accusation and was confirmed to the high court
But Ford's and Kavanaugh's emotional appeals to the Judiciary Committee were a cultural watershed amid the #MeToo movement against sexual misconduct
Kavanaugh's patron was Trump, who also has been accused of groping more than a dozen women and denies it
