Jocelyn Nungaray case: Texas DA threatens migrant offenders with death penalty, stating, "You cannot evade justice."
Lawrence Jones meets with Harris County DA Kim Ogg and Jocelyn Nungaray's family.
Migrant criminals who break the law in Harris County, Texas will not be able to evade prosecution, as District Attorney Kim Ogg makes it clear: "You can't run and hide."
The Texas Democrat who is leaving office at the end of the year is involved in the high-profile Jocelyn Nungaray murder case, where Franklin Pena, 26, and Johan Martinez-Rangel, 22, are accused of raping 12-year-old Nungaray and strangling her to death before leaving her body in a shallow creek near her home.
Ogg intends to seek the death penalty for the suspects.
Lawrence Jones was informed by a woman during a sit-down interview on "Fox & Friends" that no one can evade justice for committing a brutal crime in this county and state. She emphasized that everyone will be treated equally, regardless of their background, and that this includes those who commit such heinous acts.
ICE stated that the two migrants entered the U.S. unlawfully from Venezuela, and Ogg labeled it as their "first crime."
"These murderers were unfortunately released after being caught while committing their crime across the border."
Alexis Nungaray, Jocelyn's mother, has frequently criticized the Biden-Harris administration's border policies, appearing on the campaign trail with President-elect Donald Trump and testifying before the House Homeland Security Committee about the negative effects of illegal immigrant crime on American citizens.
Despite still being devastated by Jocelyn's loss, she conveyed to Jones that the problem isn't about political affiliations but rather about the worth of people.
She stated that she would always support immigration and that she would always have and will continue to do so, but there is a reason why there are policies and procedures in place.
Jocelyn's grandfather, Kelvin Alvarenga, also spoke with Jones.
"As a Latino-descended individual, it's deeply personal to see these people possessing the heart and mind to do this. I've always believed that my granddaughter was not their first. However, I'm confident that this will be their last. It's crucial to remember that no other families should have to endure this pain," he stated.
Nungaray's family and the gruesome evidence led Ogg to the decision to pursue the death penalty.
In Texas, the evidence suggests that they deserve the death penalty for what they did to a child, as they would be treated like any other person in the country who commits such a crime.
