The tragic story of a 12-year-old Texas girl whose life was cut short by two alleged assailants has sparked outcry from her mother and grandfather, who demand a safer country amid the ongoing border crisis. Alexis Nungaray’s daughter Jocelyn Nungaray was allegedly lured under a bridge and brutally assaulted for two hours before being killed by two illegal Venezuelan migrants on June 16th.
Alexis Nungaray expressed her frustration with the federal government’s immigration policies during an interview with Fox News, urging lawmakers to take action and strengthen screening processes when allowing people into the country. The emotional mother, who sits next to Jocelyn’s grandfather Kelvin Alvarenga during the interview, implores people to think about the pain grieving families are enduring.
Jocelyn Nungaray’s murder is one of several heinous crimes that have allegedly been committed by illegal migrants since President Biden took office. These high-profile cases have reignited anger over the 81-year-old Democrat’s lenient stance on border security, with many calling for stronger measures to protect American citizens from harm.
According to reports from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, both men accused of Jocelyn’s murder entered the country illegally. Franklin Jose Pena Ramos crossed the southern border in May, while Johan Jose Rangel Martinez entered in March and was given an ankle monitor that was removed in May due to a lack of known criminal history.
Both men are currently facing capital murder charges for their alleged crimes against Jocelyn Nungaray, who her mother described as “slowly becoming this beautiful, beautiful young lady” with goals and dreams that were tragically cut short. As Alexis Nungaray vows to be her daughter’s voice and fight for change in the wake of this horrific incident, it remains to be seen whether increased border security measures will be implemented to prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future.
