<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/associated-press" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associated Press</a> faced backlash online this week after they failed to inform readers that two men who were arrested for allegedly murdering a young girl in Texas were illegal aliens who recently entered the country under President Joe Biden.</p>
<p>The two illegal aliens from <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/venezuela" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Venezuela</a> — Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, 21, and Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, 26 — were each <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/2-venezuelan-illegal-aliens-who-came-in-under-biden-charged-with-murdering-young-girl-in-texas">charged</a> this week with capital murder stemming from the death of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray.</p>
<div class="dw-mm-player-container">
<p>“Martinez and Pena both illegally entered the U.S. without inspection, parole or admission by a U.S. immigration officer on an unknown date and at an unknown location,” U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/2-venezuelan-illegal-aliens-who-came-in-under-biden-charged-with-murdering-young-girl-in-texas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement. “On March 14, Martinez was apprehended by the U.S. Border Patrol near El Paso, Texas. That same day he was released on an order of recognizance with a notice to appear. Pena was apprehended by the U.S. Border Patrol on May 28 near El Paso. He was also released on an order of recognizance with a notice to appear the same day he was apprehended.”</p>
<p>The Associated Press completely excluded from their <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20240621222326/https://apnews.com/article/girl-12-killed-houston-arrest-31b535cc2d1a27fc972c6f83c3d33e8a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> the fact that the two men illegally entered the U.S. over the last few months and that they were released into the country by the Biden administration.</p>
<p>Investigators said that Nungaray was murdered via strangulation and police were able to trace the movements the suspects before and after the killing by using surveillance videos.</p>
</div>
<p>Prosecutors said that the defendants “lured” Nungaray “under a bridge” where they “remained with her for over two hours, took her pants off, tied her up and killed her, then threw her body into the bayou.”</p>
<p>The publication faced significant criticism online for excluding the connection between illegal immigration and the death of the young girl.</p>

<p>&#8220;AP is fundamentally dishonest,&#8221; said Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). &#8220;Entire story doesn’t mention that the murderers were ILLEGAL ALIENS. This is not journalism. And hundreds of smaller outlets will run this word-for-word.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) added: &#8220;This is what actual misinformation looks like. The AP is hiding the key part of the story to protect Joe Biden.&#8221;</p>
<p>Political commentator Erick Erickson posted: &#8220;Doing heavy lifting for the Democrats&#8217; agenda, @AP fails to include the detail that the suspects are illegal aliens.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Not only does AP not mention that both suspects are illegal aliens who were both recently caught &amp; released at border, they don’t even mention that they are from Venezuela, which police publicly disclosed,&#8221; said Fox News border correspondent Bill Melugin. &#8220;Media across the country will use AP wires/reporting on this.&#8221;</p>
