Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg (D) of Texas expressed the concerning violence committed by illegal immigrants, particularly in the wake of the tragic killing of Jocelyn Nungaray. Ogg emphasized that the murder was a foreseeable consequence of increased criminal activity associated with illegal immigration.
“Houston is a huge international hub here in the southwest, and we attract people from all over the country. Unfortunately, we see a great deal of violence committed by illegal immigrants, and we see as many victimized by other illegals and regular people here. So, it’s an enormous problem. This was bound to happen. It’s one of those things that, as an elected prosecutor, you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop. I’m just sick and sickened that this little girl was the innocent victim of these two monsters,” Ogg stated.
Ogg’s remarks come amid rising concerns among local law enforcement and prosecutors about the impact of illegal immigration on crime rates. She highlighted the pressures faced by border prosecutors, sheriffs, and local law enforcement officers due to the additional crimes committed by those crossing the border illegally.
“Border prosecutors, sheriffs, and local law enforcement are under tremendous pressure because of the additional crimes being committed by folks streaming across the border,” Ogg explained. “Here in Houston, we are a first stop and hub for these folks, and so our violence level is also increased. This hurts the morale of police and prosecutors, when we see folks with ankle monitors committing crimes. It raises the question, why were they released in the first place?”
During an interview, co-host Dana Perino asked Ogg what message she would like to convey to Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, who is currently visiting Texas to assess the situation at the border.
“Well, thank you for raising that point. Border prosecutors, sheriffs, and local law enforcement are under tremendous pressure because of the additional crimes being committed by folks streaming across the border,” Ogg reiterated. “Here in Houston, we are a first stop and hub for these folks, and so our violence level is also increased. This hurts the morale of police and prosecutors, when we see folks with ankle monitors committing crimes. It raises the question, why were they released in the first place?”
Ogg’s comments reflect the ongoing challenges faced by local authorities in managing the consequences of illegal immigration. As Houston continues to serve as a major entry point for immigrants, the city’s law enforcement agencies are grappling with heightened crime rates and the strain on resources. Ogg’s statements underscore the urgent need for comprehensive border enforcement and support for local law enforcement to ensure the safety and security of communities affected by illegal immigration.
