illegal immigrants charged in the murder of a 12-year-old girl as prosecutors tell horrific details. bill is off today, i'm dana perino. good morning, bret. >> bret: i'm bret baier in washington. prosecutors are seeking justice for jocelyn nun garry. the men lured her under a bridge in houston where they assaulted her for hours and then strangled her to death. >> dana: her mother is speaking out saying she and her family are absolutely devastated. >> she had such a bright future ahead of her and i knew she would go very far and, you know, these monsters took that opportunity from her, from our family of watching her. she was a very special little girl that deserves justice and i know she is going to make a difference in this world for all children. >> bret: both suspects crossed the border illegally in el paso. the d.a. blaming the unchecked border for jocelyn's murder. >> the system is broken. if there was ever a case that reflected that, it's this one. >> bret: the district attorney joins us here in a moment. first let's go to nate foye in houston. good morning, nate. >> good morning, bret and dana. in about an hour possibly an hour and a half from now the second of two illegal venezuelan migrants charged with capital murder in the death of 12-year-old jocelyn will be arraigned in court. this comes after the judge yesterday set bail at $10 million for the first co-defendant describing his flight risk as astronomical. look at the men who will appear in court. his name -- prosecutors say he and his co-defendant approached the boss at their construction company asking for money so they could leave town. the migrant arraigned yesterday admitting to kissing the 12-year-old girl and told prosecutors rangel was more physically aggressive. the d.a.'s office said if it is found a sexual assault happened the case is eligible for the death penalty. at least one of the migrants wore an ankle monitor during the time of the murder. harris county district attorney. >> i can't speak to ice putting angle monitors on folks and releasing them. our immigration system is broken. if there was ever a case that reflected that, it is this one. >> mean while the funeral for the 12-year-old girl will happen this thursday as her mother reflects on her life taken too soon. >> she was still my first born. other than a teen mom i fought for her at 15, 27 now and still fighting for her and i'm just remembering she was a very special little girl that deserves her justice. >> prosecutors say they will request a $10 million bond as well for martinez rangel was arrested and released by border patrol earlier this year in el paso. >> bret: thanks. >> dana: let's bring in harris county district attorney. an honor to have you on the show today. tell us about the details we're finding out about this case and how strong the evidence is, because as i understand it from what nate just said if it turns out there is evidence that is proven about a sexual assault, the death penalty is on the table? >> the case is horrific. jocelyn's last moments were unspeakable. she endured assault for multiple hours. this was a little girl who slipped out of her house to call her boyfriend, a 13-year-old, was seen by two immigrants who had been drinking all afternoon. they picked her up probably asking for directions and she was innocent. she walked off with them. we see footage from local stores that show they lured her under a bridge near a houston where they attacked her and drug her body into the water. the evidence is clear that a sexual assault likely happened but since neither defendant has actually admitted that, circumstantial evidence will have to prove it. we're waiting on lab tests now to see if the capital murder charge can be upgraded to one where they're death penalty eligible. >> bret: thanks for joining us. you said that this is a perfect example of a broken immigration system. there was an opinion editorial today in the "new york post" -- rather friday saying america keeps watching a gruesome crimes committed by illegal migrants, ban sanctuary laws. how big a problem is this and how does this case exemplify that? >> houston is a huge international hub here in the southwest and attract people from all over the country. unfortunately, we see a great deal of violence committed by illegal immigrants and we see as many victimized by other illegals and regular people here. so it is an enormous problem. this was bound to happen. it is one of those things as an elected prosecutor you are waiting for the other shoe to drop. i'm just sick and sickened that this little girl was the innocent victim of these two monsters. >> dana: secretary of homeland security alejandro mayorkas is in texas today and visiting the border. what would you like him to know about what the pressures that law enforcement and prosecutors are under given the situation at the border? >> thank you for raising that point. border prosecutors, sheriffs and local law enforcement are under tremendous pressure because of the additional crimes being committed by folks streaming across the border. here in houston, we're a first stop and hub for these folks and so our violence level is also increased. this hurts the morale of police and prosecutors when we see folks with ankle monitors committing crimes. it raises the question why were they released in the first place? >> bret: how were these two apprehended? >> it's a tale of good citizenship and fear. there were witnesses who were close to the two who saw the newscast, contacted a friend to contact the police because they were themselves in fear of danger. additionally, these defendants asked their boss for money, put together a story that didn't quite make sense but they were headed out of town and presumably out of the country. the flight risk made them eligible for a big bond in harris county. we haven't seen our judiciary come through with bonds like this so we were appreciative of the $10 million we believe will keep the two individuals -- at least the one in custody. we'll know about the other one this morning. >> dana: we'll watch it. you have your work cut out for you but you are fighting for justice for jocelyn's family. thank you for being on today. >> bret: thank you. >> thank you. >> dana: it's election day in the hill contentious primary for new york's 16th district. jamal bowman, remember him of fire alarm pulling fame, he is facing a fierce challenge from george latimer in a race for the democratic party's divide over israel is on full display and one of the issues people are voting on today. eric shawn is live in yonkers, new york. >> we're here at a public middle school in the gym serving as a polling place in yonkers. for the first time a member of the squad could be ejected by his own constituents today. two-term congressman progressive jamal bowman faces a challenge from moderate democrat george latimer. a former state senator. bowman is a controversial figure here partly because of his attacks on israel. he accused the jewish state of committing genocide in gaza and didn't condemn hamas and heavily criticized apec, the washington-based pro israel lobbying group who support latimer, bow man's opponent. >> we are going to show [bleep] apec the power of the [bleep] south bronx. >> bowman has become a lightning rod for critics saying he is out of step with the largely sub urn an constituents that is part of the bronx. latimer has promised to take a tamer tone to congress. yesterday he was endorsed by a group of local black religious leaders. >> i am not a bombastic person. i won't say that. the support of these individuals behind me are important to me. i look forward if i go to congress to find ways to be helpful to programs and services they provide to the people that live in their communities, the bronx is represented here. >> all this has turned out to be the most expensive primary in american history costing reportedly more than $20 million. it has also exposed the deep divisions in the democratic party. dana, back to you. >> dana: incredible story and we'll watch it all day. thank you, eric. >> are you detaining her? because of me? because i drank? >> dana: gascon may have explaining to do. did his right hand man try to pull rank and stop police from doing their job? more on this video next. >> bret: a couple is trapped. a police officer risks his life, runs into the flames, how this all ended ahead. >> dana: it is not just the rank and file or strategist, even his former boss is worried about president biden's chances in november. karl rove on this high anxiety up next. ton crop ?

good morning, bret. this happened three years ago but we're only now seeing the video. it is not clear to us at this point why the police department where the incident happened is releasing the video now but it was shot by george gascon's chief of staff and arrested interrupting officers who pulled over his then fiance during a traffic stop and having told the officers that they pulled over the wrong person. he then urges them to check his license plates, which could have shown he worked for the d.a.'s office. >> dude, run the plates and see what you find, honestly. i'm not saying anything, just see what you find. >> he then appears to coach his fiance about field sobriety tests for fsts. >> they are completely voluntary and not required by law. if he has probable cause he will arrest you. if he has probable cause he will arrest you, fsts are completely voluntary by law. >> then he continues to complain to the officers. >> i'm telling you, this is not right. when they talk about law enforcement and our interactions with law enforcement, he did the right thing and drove me. >> after his fiance is handcuffed the officer approaches the man and arrests him, too. >> you are in public and intoxicated and being placed under arrest. turn around and put your hands behind your back. >> he sued the police department over the incident and last year, bret, won a $10,000 settlement. bret. >> bret: thanks. >> dana: pennsylvania business owners say former president trump's 2024 pitch is hitting the right tone. many caught up with him after his rally in philadelphia over the weekend. >> he goes right in the heart of the battle. he is great. he was wonderful. signing autographs, shaking hands. he was the best. people are fed up of the high prices everywhere. i mean, my steak used to be $8. now $14.50. it is crazy. i hate to give that kind of price out, you know, for a cheese steak. >> dana: that sentiment reflected in a new poll. 58% of registered voters disapprove of biden's job performance on the economy. >> bret: president biden hunkering down with advisors at camp david to prep for the cnn presidential debate. some top democrats including former president barack obama are reportedly expressing doubts about his strategy and his chances for winning in november. karl rove former white house deputy chief of staff and fox news contributor joins us now. good morning. the story pops up in the "new york magazine" , what obama is whispering to biden. the president's plan to save their legacy from trump. here is an excerpt. those his anxiety of the election is real, the ex-president's concern sounded a lot like those of other top democrats. in regular touch with obama say the nerves are not a reflection of angst about biden and team but the broader reality. the country is closely divided, media landscape fractured and donald trump may very well win. your thoughts heading into thursday and this angst from democrats. >> they are seeing the same thing the rest of the country is, which is he is suffering in office. they are also seeing public reaction to the economy, cost of living, to people finding it hard at the end of the month to take that paycheck and pay all the bills that they are encumbered during that month. yeah, my view of the obama wing of the democratic party is they had their doubts about him in 2015. remember, he was a sitting vice president and the president of the united states said i'm not going to support him in the 2016 election. i'll support hillary clinton. there was tension already, that created more tension. they've always had their doubts about his ability to win and he won in 2016 -- won in 2016 but -- won in 2020 after not being a candidate in 2016 but they've had their doubts ever since, i suspect. >> dana: i think that comes through, right? at first, karl, you would only see that said off the record . then it was aides say and then there were actually people saying it on the record trying to get attention. you get the attention of the campaign. they are in debate prep. bob bauer is one of the people prepping biden. he did an interview and what he said about how it's going. >> i would say in all of the debate preps, whether it was a trump debate prep or others i've done, you cannot be afraid of laying down on take table something your candidate preparing it for will like. that could be something that's personally insulting. that's something that can be completely false about a policy position they've taken. >> dana: we know that maybe a little bit of a strategy. one last thing here. nbc headline biden's debate strategy is be prepared for two different trumps. if he is more sedate the goal will be elicit the true trump. possibly they will both try to do that. >> yeah, it is interesting. i wrote my column last week in the journal on debate and talked to five republicans involved in debate prep for various candidates and three democrats. what was interesting they all agreed the question for biden was which trump was going to show up? would it be the wild trump we saw in the first 2020 debate interrupting, yelling, loud, or will it be a more calm one? every one of them said that biden would have to prepare for both instances and have a strategy for both. the instances if it's wild take advantage of it. if he is calm goad him into becoming the wild one. i thought it was a pretty interesting reaction. with regard to trump, everybody assumed he would attack, attack, attack. some people said how much time will he spend explaining what he would do in a second term. fine to go after biden on the cost of living, on his handling of afghanistan, on hunter biden to some degree, but the question was, would he leave a sense of here is what i'll do in a second term. the three or four that brought that up all felt that it was really important that trump have some sense of what his second act was going to be in order to seal the deal in the debate. >> bret: we thought we were going white boardless and thank god you came with all the details. >> you ask for a white board, you get a white board, my friend. >> bret: thank you for joining us. dana, it will be something. never been this early, it is a unique moment in this race, and technically neither one of these guys are going to be the official nominee of their parties yet but it is probably going to be the most-watched moment that we've seen in recent elections. >> dana: strange because you have short primary season. you have two incumbents running against each other. this is history in the making and we'll be there to cover it for everybody. tune into fox news democracy 24 special coverage of the cnn presidential debate simulcast. our coverage begins this thursday, june 27th, at
