FIRST ON FOX: Republican lawmakers are calling for a “complete and total” moratorium on Venezuelan migration into the U.S. in the wake of the murder of a 12-year-old girl in Texas, allegedly by two Venezuelan illegal immigrants.
In a letter, led by Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Texas, they raise concerns about “violent criminals from Venezuela being released from prisons, embedding themselves into migrant caravans, and traversing into the United States.”
Nehls has written to Mayorkas before about reports that Venezuela is releasing criminals from jails and sending them north to the border. He wrote again in February 2024, warning about the presence of Venezuelan migrant gangs in cities across America.
Now, Nehls and colleagues are writing in the wake of the killing of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray in Houston, Texas. Two illegal immigrants, Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, 21, and Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, 26, face capital murder charges in her death. They are accused of luring her under a bridge, tying her up and killing her before throwing her body into a river.
