Far-left Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo politicized the murder of 12-year-old girl Jocelyn Nungaray this week while demanding that others not politicize her death. Two illegal aliens from Venezuela — Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, 21, and Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, 26 — were each charged with capital murder in Nungaray’s death. Hidalgo, who is not from the United States, was asked during a press conference this week if her lax enforcement of laws attracted criminal illegal aliens to her county where she serves as the head of Harris County’s governing body. She ignored the question and instead claimed that they come to her county to seek opportunities before she then blamed former President Donald Trump for Nungaray’s death. “Now, would these guys have been here were there different immigration policies? Well, there was an opportunity to have them,” she claimed. “President Biden worked with Leader McConnell on policies that specifically would have kept these guys out, and then former President Trump decided he didn’t like them. And there was an inexplicable flip-flop from Senator McConnell, Leader McConnell and the rest of the caucus.” She falsely claimed that Biden’s immigration bill would have stopped catch-and-release — where illegal aliens are given a notice to appear in court at a later date and then released into the country. Hidalgo claimed that the problem was not illegal immigration, but rather “violence against women.” She then claimed that Republicans want no immigrants to be allowed in the country and that the country would collapse without them. Speaking about the victim’s family, she said: “And really, to me, it hurts even more that they’re being used as pawns in this fight over immigration that doesn’t even exist, because Biden and McConnell agree, it’s just that Trump won’t let them move it forward.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP A reporter at the press conference quickly called her out: “With all due respect, judge, you said [the] issue shouldn’t be politicized. But by pointing the finger at former President Trump and Republicans in Congress, aren’t you politicizing it?” “Um, I think I answered the, I think I answered the question,” she claimed. “So, um. Yeah.” The reporter pushed back, noting that she did not answer the question and that President Joe Biden lifted Trump’s Remain-in-Mexico policy, which is what ultimately led to the two alleged murderers being let into the country. “Again, the Biden administration reached an agreement with Leader McConnell to address this, but this is not about immigration,” she claimed. “I’m not gonna feed into that.” SHAMELESS: Harris County, Texas Judge Lina Hidalgo blames President Donald Trump for 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungray’s brutal kiIIing and sexual assault at the hands of 2 illegal aliens. pic.twitter.com/ed5jtAyGHI — Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) June 26, 2024

Lisa Kudrow is connecting with her late friend and castmate Matthew Perry by watching him do what he did best—make people laugh. The Phoebe Buffay actress is currently binge-watching Friends from start to finish, which is something she hasn’t done for years. In the past, she’s admitted that she doesn’t enjoy watching her work because she’s her own biggest critic. However, the 60-year-old recently decided to break her rule and watch the hit sitcom because it is her way of “celebrating how hilarious [Matthew] was.” “Honestly, I wasn’t able to watch it because it’s too embarrassing to watch yourself,” she told Hollywood Reporter. “But if I make it about Matthew, then that’s okay.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lisa Kudrow (@lisakudrow) Matthew Perry tragically and unexpectedly passed away in October 2023 at only 54. Matthew was famously close with his other co-stars, and they’ve all found their unique ways of honoring him in death. For Lisa, it is “laughing out loud” at how “hilarious” he and the cast are. “I’m blown away by Courteney Cox. I’m blown away by Jen [Aniston],” she continued. “Matthew, obviously, is just uniquely hilarious. No one ever knew that cadence or comedic rhythm before him. Matt LeBlanc is hilarious. And David Schwimmer, too. Sometimes I even laugh at what I’ve done.” Lisa Kudrow Recalls Her Favorite Memories With Matthew Perry Lisa Kudrow reminisced about some of her favorite moments from Friends, including the episode titled The One Where Everyone Finds Out, which was when the characters realized that Matthew’s Chandler Bing and Courteney’s Monica had been secretly dating. It was Matthew who came up with some of the most hilarious moments. But overall, Lisa’s most cherished memories are made up of simply spending time with some of her favorite people.  “You’re just laughing all day long, basically, in between the scenes because these are funny people,” she added. “And especially someone like Matthew, whose goal was, ‘How many laughs can I get in real life every day?’ So we were always laughing so hard, tears were flying out of our faces.” This story’s story is by Albert Ortega / Stringer via Getty.
