In a campaign ad paid for by Win it Back PAC, Houston Angel mom Alexis Nungaray described the murder of her 12-year-old daughter, Jocelyn, who was strangled to death by Venezuelan men after they illegally entered the country and were released by Border Patrol agents through Biden-Harris "catch and release" policies. Less than 30 days after they were released, Jocelyn "was found down there in the Bayou. She had no pants on. They bound her feet and they just left her like nothing, all because of that policy catch and release," Alexis said. "Colin Allred pushing that policy ultimately took my daughter's life. Colin Allred didn't kill my daughter, but his policies are why she's dead."
"For Colin Allred to say that Sen. Cruz and I advocating for stronger immigration laws is only for political gain is a slap in the face to me," she said. "I'm not doing this for anyone's gain, I'm doing this to solely advocate for my daughter. Jocelyn's voice was ripped away from her. It is now my duty as a mother to forever be her voice, and no one will ever take that away from me. Colin Allred has no right to tell me how to fight for my daughter's memory."
After Jocelyn was murdered on June 17, Alexis has been calling for action to end the policies that she and countless angel parents across the country say killed their loved ones. Her actions include testifying before Congress several times, meeting with state and local lawmakers and endorsing former President Donald Trump and Cruz, R-Houston, whom Allred is challenging for Senate.
Allred has consistently voted against border security bills, even ones that fellow Texas Democrats U.S. Reps. Henry Cuellar and Vicente Gonzalez, supported, The Center Square reported. High profile Democrats have endorsed Cruz, including the Democratic district attorney prosecuting the case against Jocelyn's alleged murderers.
