The border crisis in America is escalating, and the recent tragic incident in Houston, Texas, where a 12-year-old girl was brutally murdered by two illegal immigrants, is a stark reminder of the consequences. The alleged perpetrators, Johan Jose Martinez-Rangel, 21, and Franklin Jose Peña Ramos, 26, both Venezuelan nationals who unlawfully entered the U.S. this year, are accused of luring Jocelyn Nungaray into a secluded area and committing an unspeakable act of violence against her.
Kim Ogg, the District Attorney of Harris County (a sanctuary county), shamelessly tried to deflect responsibility by blaming a “broken system” for this heinous crime. In her words, “They should have never been released when they arrived in El Paso, but we have a broken system, and Jocelyn’s death resulted. And it’s just hard when you know something could have been prevented like a child’s death.”
Peña Ramos was apprehended by Border Patrol agents upon his illegal entry into the country and was subsequently released from custody. This decision has now come under sharp criticism following the crime.
This horrifying event has amplified concerns about migrant vetting processes and sparked debates on the current administration’s lax border policies. Ogg continued to downplay the issue, arguing that Texans have been aware of the flawed immigration system for years. She conveniently shifted focus to the diversity of immigrants’ countries of origin as the primary risk to local residents.
Now that the spotlight is on her, Ogg is attempting to evade any responsibility.
In the wake of this tragedy, there are growing calls for stricter border control and increased accountability. However, the scrutiny isn’t limited to federal policies. The rising crime rate within the county is a pressing concern for both local and state officials. As Texas state Rep. Briscoe Cain rightly pointed out, “Harris County has become a sanctuary for criminals, and the blame rests not only on the federal administration but also on the DA’s office.”
