In Pennsylvania, three white teens have been charged in the beating death of a Mexican immigrant earlier this month. Witnesses said six white teenagers brutally attacked twenty-five-year-old Luis Ramirez while yelling racial slurs. Ramirez came to the United States six years ago. He was the father of two children and was engaged to marry. Two of the teens were charged as adults with homicide and ethnic intimidation. More charges are expected in the case.
