The murder of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray in Houston has sparked widespread outrage and criticism of President Joe Biden's border policies. Venezuelan nationals Franklin Jose Peña Ramos, 26, and Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, 21, who entered the U.S. illegally, have been charged with capital murder. Jocelyn was lured under a bridge, assaulted for hours, and killed. Prosecutors revealed that she fought back, leaving bite and scratch marks on one of the suspects. A Texas judge set a $10 million bond for both suspects, citing an 'astronomical' flight risk. The Harris County District Attorney, Kim Ogg, is considering seeking the death penalty for the suspects, pending lab test results.
