Prosecutors have filed capital murder charges against two men suspected of killing 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray in Houston. The suspects, illegal immigrants, allegedly lured Nungaray to a bridge, tied her up, and threw her body into a Texas bayou. The incident has sparked significant political debate, with many criticizing President Biden's border policies. One of the suspects, Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, has been granted a $10 million bail, which is $5 million more than what prosecutors requested. The suspects have an immigration hold, preventing their release even if bail is posted. The case has drawn attention to the broader issues of border security and the impact of illegal immigration on crime rates in the United States.
