Donald Trump promises to help 'Angel Mom' whose account was suspended by Twitter when she posted about immigration policy and sanctuary cities after the killing of her police officer son by an illegal alien

The mother of a police officer killed by an illegal alien drunk driver claims Twitter suspended her account following posts about immigration policy and sanctuary cities. 

Mary Ann Mendoza, who heads the Angel Families organization, said she refused to delete her messages and will not 'be silenced' after the social media site is said to have told her the tweets 'went against' their 'standards on hate speech'. 

The Twitter suspension prompted Donald Trump to promise to help the 'Angel Mom' and it appears that the account has since been restored. The tweets in question look to have been deleted. 

Mary Ann's son, Mesa Police Sergeant Brandon Mendoza, died in May 2014 at the age of 32 when his car was hit head-on by a man who was driving in the wrong direction on a one-way street. 

The driver, Raul Silva-Corona, was in the country illegally despite having been convicted of crimes in Colorado more than 20 years ago.

He was found to have a blood-alcohol content more than three times the legal limit, according to USA Today.

Following her suspension Trump tweeted pledging to help the 'great woman who has lost so much. He wrote: 'She is a winner who has lost so much, her child. Twitter, if you’re watching, please do what you have to do, NOW!'

Trump tweeted: 'I will help Angel Mom (and great woman) Mary Ann Mendoza with Twitter. I know Mary Ann from the beginning, and she should never be silenced. 

'She is a winner who has lost so much, her child. Twitter, if you’re watching, please do what you have to do, NOW!'

Kimberly Guilfoyle, who is dating Don Jr, tweeted: 'Shame on you Twitter.'

Mendoza is said to have written to Democrat presidential primary candidate Sen. Kamala Harris saying she had blood on her hands. 

She also tweeted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and wrote about immigration policy and sanctuary city policies. 

Twitter told DailyMail.com: 'Whenever we determine that a tweet breaks our rules we require the account owner to remove it before continuing to Twitter. When we do this the account receives a notice from us.' 

Mendoza told Fox News that Facebook also removed some her posts. 

She said: 'They said that it was hateful content that I had put out on Twitter and they told me I had to remove all six tweets that they had sent me and I am refusing to do it. I have appealed it twice now. 

'This is the same type of language that I have been using for five years. I'm finding it a little strange.

'It's cowardly that they do this to conservative people. I do use the term #bloodonyourhands and I do send that to some of the senators and congressmen and women because they do.'

She added: 'My son has been silenced and now Twitter and Facebook have taken it upon themselves to silence me too. 

'I have had people tweet to me "your son deserved to die", "I hope you die the same way your son did"...I have reported them to Twitter and Twitter has done nothing about that. That's hate. 

'I am not going to allow them to silence me...Twitter is not going to shut me down.'
