The Harris County District Attorney cited Cruz’ response to the brutal murder of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray.Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg has become the latest Democrat to cross over and endorse Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz for re-election.
During a joint appearance with Cruz on Fox News’ Hannity Tuesday evening, Ogg expressed concerns over the rise in violent crimes committed by illegal aliens, including the brutal murder of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray.
“While Jocelyn Nungaray is the reason that Ted Cruz and I started working together, she’s not the only reason that I support the senator,” said Ogg. “We’ve had a number of murders committed by undocumented illegal aliens, and as a law enforcement official, the top one in the third biggest county in the country, it’s really important to stop the violence.”
Ogg praised Cruz for introducing the “Justice for Jocelyn” measure, which would have kept the suspects in Nungaray’s case in custody if it had been law at the time.
