A new bill introduced by Texas Senator Ted Cruz will make it much more difficult for foreign nationals to be released into the U.S. after they are processed at the southern border.

The bill is in honor of 12-year-old victim Jocelyn Nungaray, who was sexually assaulted and murdered by two illegal aliens from Venezuela.

The bill, which was introduced on Thursday and nicknamed the “Justice for Jocelyn Act,” would require Homeland Security officials to exhaust “all reasonable efforts to hold aliens in detention” by determining if “all detention beds available to the Secretary have been filled” before migrants who crossed into the U.S. illegally are released.

Additionally, if officials run out of room in a detention facility, a migrant must then be required to wear an ankle monitor until they complete their immigration court proceedings. The bill also proposes that illegal border crossers be subject to a curfew that lasts from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.

If migrants violate any of the proposed rules, federal authorities could have the power to deport them. 

This comes after 12-year-old Nungaray was raped and killed by two illegal Venezuelan foreign nationals, one with criminal history in his own country, who were previously released into the U.S. with future court dates. 

Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, 26, and Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, 21, have now been charged with capital murder. It’s alleged that they lured Jocelyn to a bridge, assaulted her for two hours, both sexually and physically, and then finally strangled her to death and dumped her body into a Houston bayou.

Jocelyn’s mother, Alexis Nungaray, said in a statement that the bill “would have prevented Jocelyn’s death,” adding that “It would have prevented her two murderers from being on the street and it would have meant that Jocelyn would be here with us today.”

It was also reported that Pena Ramos, who initially crossed the border in May, was wearing an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) GPS ankle monitor at the time of the attack in June, Homeland Security sources previously told the New York Post.

He was reportedly able to get rid of it by simply cutting it off while running from law enforcement. 

As for Rangel Martinez, who crossed the border on March 14th, he was disenrolled from the tracking program only two months after entering the U.S. because he had no known criminal past and had complied with required check-ins.
