Here's your daily reminder that our immigration system is still broken.
Three immigrant brothers in their 30s have been accused of raping a 10-year-old Louisiana girl, who locked herself in a bathroom to get away from her alleged attackers.
Two of the suspects, identified as Raul Paz-Perez and Wilmer Paz-Perez, were in the country illegally and arrested Saturday on first-degree rape involving a juvenile under the age of 13. Their brother, Elder Paz-Perez, fled.
Detectives are also looking into allegations that Elder Paz-Perez sexually assaulted the 10-year-old's 15-year-old sister after she told authorities about an incident that had allegedly taken place a few years earlier.
Raul and Wilmer Paz-Perez are being held without bail at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainers have also been put on them because they were in the United States illegally.
