Six months after his first attempt to introduce the "Jocelyn Nungaray Act" to Congress failed, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has reignited the charge to get his act through a committee, expecting to get a different result this time around.
The bill is named after the 12-year-old Houston girl who prosecutors say was murdered by two undocumented immigrants from Venezuela while she was walking back home in the early morning of June 17. According to court records, Nungaray was sexually assaulted and strangled to death by Johan José Martínez-Rangel and Franklin José Peña Ramos.
