   FIRST ON FOX: A House Republican is seeking to ensure illegal immigrants   
   who commit murder in the U.S. are eligible for the death penalty in all   
   50 states.   
      
   Rep. Morgan Luttrell, R-Texas, is introducing a bill on Thursday called   
   the Justice for Victims of Illegal Alien Murder Act, which would   
   establish a new class of federal criminal offenses specifically directed   
   at convicted murderers who are in the country illegally.   
      
   It would make those criminals eligible for life in prison or the death   
   penalty if convicted of first-degree murder.   
      
   Such a bill would strengthen federal prosecutors' claims of jurisdiction   
   over such crimes, even in states where the death penalty is abolished.   
      
   "We can hold those individuals accountable at the federal level because   
   they're here illegally. And here we are with that legislation," Luttrell   
   told Fox News Digital on Wednesday.   
      
   He said part of the impetus for the legislation was a case in his home   
   state of Texas in 2023 when a man who had been deported multiple times   
   was arrested for killing five people in the U.S.
