Two illegal immigrant gang members in Texas have been charged in what local media outlets are describing as the satanic killing of one teenage girl and the brutal kidnapping two others.

Diego Hernandez-Rivera, 18, and Miguel Alvarez-Flores, 22, both from El Salvador, smiled and waved to television cameras in a Harris County courtroom in Houston just before their charges were read to them, KTRK-TV reported. The two were arrested Monday on charges of aggravated kidnapping and murder.

Court documents identified Alvarez-Flores as Diabolical, the name of the local leader of the known international, El Salvadorian MS-13 gang. The two are behind bars, and their bond was set at $300,000 each, according to the Houston Chronicle. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement placed a hold on the two men, so that if they are released from jail, they will be detained by federal immigration authorities.

Police said the pair are responsible for the murder of an unidentified Texas teenager.According to the Associated Press, the teen was one of three female victims being held for days against their will at a Houston apartment. One victim who is still alive a teenager told police that she left school Feb. 2 to meet the two men at an apartment. But it was not clear why she went there.

The 15-year-old was held at the apartment for four days. On the fourth day, she was sexually assaulted by another man known as Flaco, KTRK-TV reported.

The unidentified teenager was then taken to a second apartment, where she was held against her will another 14 days. The girl reportedly told police there were six MS-13 gang members living at the apartment.It was not clear whether any of the individuals living at the second apartment were arrested.

The Houston Police Department and the Harris County Sheriffs Department did not immediately respond Friday to a request for comment.

The girl said the men forced alcohol and drugs on her throughout the torturous two-week period, tattooing an image of the grim reaper from her knee to her ankle. Court documents revealed a satanic shrine was found at the apartment. According to KTRK, Alvarez-Flores started to light a cigarette as an offering to what he referred to as the beast. But Alvarez-Flores stopped and said the beast wanted a soul instead.

A second teenager being held there, identified only as Genesis, reportedly spoke out against the gang members. Court documents allege Alvarez-Flores then looked at Hernandez-Rivera and told him, Prepare yourself. Its your turn.

The next morning, according to the teenager who survived the horrific capture, the teenager who spoke out was gone.

Alvarez-Flores and Hernandez-Rivera were arrested Monday. CBS News reported it was not clear what led authorities to the two men.

On Feb. 16, a 15-year-olds body was found along the side of a road in a remote area near Houston. The deceased victim, who police still have not been able to identify, also suffered a gunshot wound to her chest.

Hernandez-Rivera told Harris County prosecutors that, before the alleged shooting, Alvarez-Flores took out a pistol, waved it in the air and told him it was time to take action. Hernandez-Rivera allegedly took the firearm from Alvarez-Flores and shot the victim in the head.

As the men walked away from the alleged crime scene, Alvarez-Flores fired at close range a second shot into the victims chest,KPRC-TV reported.

There is an easier way of deterring illegal immigration, one fraught with fewer dangers of backlash, but one that stands little chance of implementation.

Instead of addressing the supply side of the economic equation, lets address the demand side. For every illegal immigrant discovered at Tyson, Apple, Walmart, vegetable and fruit farms in Californiaand dairy farms in Wisconsin, a fine of $50,000 will be assessed. Yes, dairy farms in Wisconsin; without Mexican workers, it would be impossible to continue dairy production. Moreover, would American workers accept such jobs? Would they even be qualified?

I believe the immigration problem would be resolved and quickly without retaliation from foreign countries, most prominently Mexico. Moreover, the probable outcome of fines would be long-awaited sensible legislation on immigration. This is similar to the war on drugs; you are never going to win it by restricting supply; only shrinking demand will resolve the problem.

Letter: Shrink demand to resolve illegal immigration - The Oshkosh Northwestern

AMHERST Is it smart public policy to allow municipal governments in Maine to harbor illegal immigrants in defiance of federal immigration law?

Thats the question Maines left-wing progressive media and academic elites would prefer not to address forthrightly. Its so much easier to create a straw man, and then show off your ability to kick the stuffing out of a flimsy stage prop.

Colby College anthropology teacher Catherine Besteman did exactly that in her Maine Voices column responding to my recent lecture at the University of Southern Maine on immigration policy.

She dismisses as fear-mongering any concerns about the cost of providing government services to illegal aliens. And she goes to great lengths to blur the distinction between illegal aliens people who entered the country in violation of federal law and those who got in line and played by the rules before coming to America.

The bill Im sponsoring in the Maine Legislature will have no impact on legal immigration. But it will turn off one of the magnets that are attracting illegal aliens to Maine.

Recall that in 2004, Gov. John Baldacci signed an executive order that turned the entire state of Maine into a harboring haven for illegal immigrants. Baldaccis decree forbade state employees from asking anyone applying for state benefits about their immigration status.

Maine effectively told the world that we have wide-open borders here, and everyone is welcome to sign up for our generous welfare benefits.

Gov. Paul LePage rescinded that order on his first day in office in 2011, putting an end to Maines open-borders policy. But there was no way to undo the damage already done by Baldaccis harboring-haven order. According to the Federation for American Immigration Reform, a group that advocates reduction of overall immigration, Maine has an illegal immigrant population of about 5,000. Obviously, that number is not precise or exact.

It is an estimate, but it is consistent with the federal governments estimate of 11 million illegal aliens nationally. FAIR estimates the cost of those 5,000 illegals to state and local Maine taxpayers at $41 million annually. Because the illegals pay only about $1 million a year in state and local taxes, Maine taxpayers bear a burden of more than $40 million a year to provide illegal aliens with public education, law enforcement, welfare and general government services.

Portland, Maine continues to welcome and subsidize illegals. The city passed a dont ask, dont tell ordinance in 2003 forbidding police and city employees from inquiring into anyones immigration status, even criminal suspects. City leaders boasted at the time that they were following the lead of San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City, Miami and Denver.

Two years ago, Portland city councilors took $1.7 million appropriated by the Legislature for state aid to education and diverted that money from classrooms to an account that gives welfare benefits to noncitizens, including asylum seekers who have overstayed their visas. That money would have paid for hiring 25 new teachers, buying 150,000 textbooks or giving more than 300 teachers a 10 percent raise.

My bipartisan bill, L.D. 366, An Act to Ensure Compliance with Federal Immigration Law by State and Local Government Entities, would require all municipalities in Maine to comply with federal immigration law and share information about criminal suspects with federal immigration authorities. It would prohibit catch-and-release policies, such as Portlands, that handcuff local police departments and serve as a magnet for illegal aliens.

Towns and cities that continue to defy federal immigration law by harboring illegal immigrants would lose all state funding, including state aid to education and revenue sharing. Citizens who are harmed by the criminal activity of illegal aliens would have legal recourse to sue the politicians who enable such policies.

Bottom line: We need to get our priorities in order. Maine is a poor state with limited resources.

As long as we have a single veteran not getting the very best care we can provide, and as long as we have elderly and disabled Mainers who have lived here and worked here and paid taxes here all their lives on wait lists for needed services, we cannot afford to provide government services to anyone who entered the country illegally. Period.

Maines most vulnerable citizens have been shoved to the back of the bus by liberal politicians. Its long past time to put law-abiding Mainers first our veterans, our elderly and disabled, and our schoolchildren.

Charity begins at home.

Julie Nordman told members of the Homeland Security Committees hearing on immigration law enforcement that Pablo Antonio Serrano-Vitorino, of Mexico, should have been deported.

SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER

In the 18 months before the senseless murder of my husband, this killer has been in custody on three occasions, yet federal officials failed to detain or deport him, Nordman told the Committee, according to USA Today.

Had they just done their jobs and followed the laws, my husband would still be alive, and so would the four other innocent victims he brutally murdered, Nordman said.

In 2004, Serrano-Vitorino was deported, but re-entered the U.S. illegally and was eventually arrested three times before allegedly killing Randy Nordman.

Serrano-Vitorino was arrested for driving without a license, domestic battery, and drunk driving.

Nordman said the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) did not detain or deport Serrano-Vitorino during this time period, despite being told by local law enforcement that the illegal immigrant was in custody.

ICE mistakenly sent the detainer paperwork to the incorrect location, and it never reached the proper authorities, Nordman said.

Serrano-Vitorino also faces murder charges in Kansas, where he allegedly killed four men who lived next door to him.

He went on to kill five completely innocent men, Nordman continued. Not only has ICE failed us, but our borders have failed us. They are obviously wide open as this man was able to enter, not once, but twice, without being detected.

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo) said she did not think Congress should pass any new legislation to help fix the current illegal immigration problem and opposes President Donald Trumps construction of a border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

McCaskill, instead, blasted ICE for not providing a spokesperson to apologize to the Nordman family over the murder case.

Its unfortunate theyre not here today to apologize to you at a minimum, McCaskill said.

The chairman of the committee, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wi), told Nordman that he would get answers as to why ICE did not detain or deport the illegal immigrant before he allegedly killed five men.

You have the commitment of this Committee to get you answers, Johnson told Nordman.

Trump has made the issue of illegal immigration a key focus in his White House administration. During a joint address to Congress, Trump gave special attention to the families of Michael Davis Jr. and Danny Oliver, the two California law enforcement officers who were killed by an illegal immigrant.

Trump also recognized Jamiel Shaw, the father of Jamiel Shaw Jr., who was killed by an illegal immigrant gang member while stopped at a stop light, thinking he was in an opposition clique.

Trumps Department of Homeland Security has created the Victims Of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE), which will chronicle the crimes committed by illegal immigrants against Americans.
