Two men, Johan Jose Rangel Martinez and Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, have been charged with capital murder in the death of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray. Jocelyn's body was found in a creek in Houston. The suspects were seen speaking with Jocelyn at a restaurant and accompanied her to a convenience store and later to the bridge where she was killed. The suspects, who are roommates, have been arrested and are facing capital murder charges. According to police, the medical examiner has determined that Jocelyn's cause of death was strangulation.

Pena was apprehended by the U.S. Border Patrol near El Paso, Texas on May 28 and also released on an order of recognizance with a notice to appear. Sen.

Ted Cruz calls for death penalty if 2 illegal immigrants accused of killing 12-year-old girl are convicted

Fox News Channel Louis Casiano Saturday, 22 June 2024 06:04
  • Unique Points
    • Sen. Ted Cruz called for the death penalty for Johan Jose Martinez Rangel and Franklin Pena if they are convicted of killing 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray
    • Both suspects entered the United States illegally through Texas according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
    • Martinez was apprehended by the U.S. Border Patrol near El Paso, Texas on March 14 and released on an order of recognizance with a notice to appear
    • Pena was apprehended by the U.S. Border Patrol near El Paso, Texas on May 28 and also released on an order of recognizance with a notice to appear
  • Accuracy
    No Contradictions at Time Of Publication
  • Deception (0%)
    The author, Louis Casiano, makes several deceptive statements in this article. Firstly, he states that 'These men are illegal aliens and Jocelyn Nungaray would still be alive and with her family if not for Joe Biden’s open border policies.' This is a lie by omission as there is no evidence provided to suggest that the president's border policies directly caused the death of Jocelyn Nungaray. Secondly, he states that 'Both suspects entered the United States illegally through Texas, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said.' This is selective reporting as it only mentions that they entered illegally and does not provide any context about how long they had been in the country or why they were released after being apprehended. Lastly, he states that 'He must reinstate Remain in Mexico and end catch-and-release immediately, or we will lose more innocent life.' This is a call to action that implies that the current policies are causing innocent lives to be lost, but no evidence is provided to support this claim.
    • These men are illegal aliens and Jocelyn Nungaray would still be alive and with her family if not for Joe Biden’s open border policies.
    • He must reinstate Remain in Mexico and end catch-and-release immediately, or we will lose more innocent life.
    • Both suspects entered the United States illegally through Texas, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said.
  • Fallacies (95%)
    The author makes an appeal to authority when quoting Sen. Ted Cruz and Harris County Assistant District Attorney Michael Abner. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric by stating 'the slaying of Nungaray came amid a week of kidnappings, murders and rapes blamed on illegal immigrants across the country.' However, no formal or dichotomous fallacies were found.
    • Sen. Ted Cruz says that Johan Jose Martinez Rangel and Franklin Pena should be sentenced to death if they’re convicted of killing a 12-year-old Houston girl.
    • The pair were seen with Nungaray on Sunday night before she was killed near a bridge, police said Thursday.
  • Bias (80%)
    The author expresses a clear bias against illegal immigrants and blames President Biden's border policies for the death of Jocelyn Nungaray. He also calls for the death penalty for the accused individuals if they are convicted.
    • He must reinstate Remain in Mexico and end catch-and-release immediately, or we will lose more innocent life.
      • If guilty, both of these men should receive the death penalty for this horrible crime.
        • >These men are illegal aliens and Jocelyn Nungaray would still be alive and with her family if not for Joe Biden’s open border policies. The Biden administration is directly responsible.<
