KENNER, La. — Louisiana authorities said three brothers are accused of raping a 10-year-old girl.

Raul and Wilmer Paz Perez were arrested Saturday and charged with first-degree rape of a victim under the age of 13.

Kenner police said Monday that Elder Paz Perez remains a fugitive.

Police said the brothers were alone with the girl on Sept. 9 and began making sexual advances towards her, offering money in exchange for sex.

Police said the girl refused and locked herself in the bathroom but they broke in and raped her.

Lt. Michael Cunningham, with Kenner police, said Monday that the three brothers were friends of the child’s family.

Police are asking local residents with information to come forward.

It’s unclear if the brothers have lawyers to speak for them. ICE detainers have been placed on both Raul and Wilmer Paz-Perez.

Biden rescinds Trump’s emergency declaration on border security, halts border wall construction

McALLEN, Texas (Border Report) -- In one of his first official actions as president, Joe Biden halted the construction of the border wall by rescinding an emergency order imposed by Donald Trump along the Southwest border.

Biden's executive order, which was signed around 5:40 p.m. EST on Wednesday, dissolved a proclamation issued in 2019 by Trump that had declared an emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border. Proclamation 9844, which Trump issued on Feb. 15, 2019, was "to deal with the border security and humanitarian crisis" at the border, and it allowed the president to access military funds for border security measures.
