Death Penalty Sought in High-Profile Border Case

News summary

Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg has announced plans to seek the death penalty for Venezuelan nationals Johan Jose Martinez-Rangel and Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, charged with the murder of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray. The case has gained significant attention, becoming a focal point in the debate over U.S. immigration policies. The suspects allegedly entered the U.S. illegally, were briefly detained by Border Patrol, and released with court appearance notices before committing the crime. Nungaray's murder has been used by former President Donald Trump to argue for stricter border security, and her mother has testified before Congress supporting these measures. Ogg, a Democrat, has criticized her party's border policies, citing failures in preventing such crimes. Both men, believed to be linked to the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, are being held on $10 million bonds each.
