EXCLUSIVE: The two men arrested in an atrocious North Carolina home invasion last week have been identified as criminal illegal aliens from Mexico who allegedly terrorized a male victim by sodomizing, beating and ripping out his fingernails, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told Fox News Digital on Thursday.

The overnight ambush, which Pitt County authorities said involved at least three male suspects, occurred in a quiet Greenville suburb last Wednesday. 

"Two heinous criminals broke into the victim's home and used a sharp, edged weapon and restrained him against his will," DHS said, citing local outlet Reflector. 

"This is a real-life nightmare. Burglarizing, kidnapping, assaulting, and sodomizing, and ripping off the fingernails of an innocent victim are extremely wicked and heinous," Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin added in a statement. 

3RD ARRESTED IN VIOLENT OVERNIGHT HOME INVASION; MULTIPLE ILLEGAL ALIENS ACCUSED OF SEXUAL ASSAULT, KIDNAPPING

The two undocumented immigrants were identified as 21-year-old Chapel Hill resident Zaid Mayen and 20-year-old Jonathan David Garcia-Larios, a homeless man who was previously deported from the U.S. in 2024. They were arrested last Friday with the assistance of the U.S. Marshals and local law enforcement.

Authorities noted that the suspects entered the U.S. at an unknown date and time.

DHS added that the "two sexual perverts and violent thugs" unleashed a series of horrific attacks despite having no known criminal record in the U.S.

"Zaid Mayen-Esteban and Jonathan David Garcia-Larios should have never been in this country. Prior to this heinous act, these illegal aliens had no criminal record in the U.S," McLaughlin said. 

"Under Secretary Noem’s leadership we are not waiting for illegal aliens to commit crimes before we target them for arrest and removal. We pray for the continued recovery of this innocent victim."

The unnamed victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment of injuries and "thankfully survived," DHS said.

The agency added that federal law enforcement is "protecting American communities every day from another senseless tragedy like this taking place in another town, to another family."

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) also issued arrest detainers for the two illegal immigrants, instructing local authorities to extend their custody, allowing federal agents to assume control.

The third suspect arrested was identified as 22-year-old John Carlos Calderon, whose immigration status is still under investigation, local authorities said. 

All three suspects face the same first-degree felony charges, including forcible sexual assault, kidnapping, burglary, and the use of a deadly weapon with intent to kill causing serious injury.

Garcia-Larios remains held without bond at the Pitt County Detention Center, while Mayen was booked into the Orange County Detention Center, also without bond.

Calderon, who was arrested Monday, is being held without bond at the Pitt County Detention Center alongside Garcia-Larios.

Federal authorities emphasized that victims of "illegal alien crime" may receive support from the Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE) Office by contacting 1-855-488-6423.

Liora Rez, the founder of StopAntisemitism, is calling for the firing of a Swiss broadcaster who questioned an Israeli athlete's participation in the Winter Olympics.

Radio Telesvision Suisse commentator Stefan Renna dubbed Israel's skeleton competitor, A.J. Edelman, a "self-defined Zionist" who has posted several messages on social media in support of the "genocide" in Gaza. Renna mentioned the United Nations when clarifying his use of the word "genocide." 

"It's almost like Al Jazeera, puppet-state media broadcasting versus a European TV network, and it was entirely inappropriate," Rez said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital. "We firmly believe that Stefan needs to be terminated, and an apology needs to be issued by his broadcasting network."

The network said it "removed the segment from our website" after the remarks, "although factual...may have appeared inappropriate due to its length within the context of a sports commentary."

Rez also called on the International Olympic Committee to "step in and make it clear that political commentary, specifically chastising the world's only Jewish nation, is just completely wrong and will not be tolerated."

"Unless consequences are enacted, more and more things like this are going to happen...just because these platforms and events are so large with massive, massive audiences," Rez said.

"Listen, we're talking about the Olympics during a bobsled competition. These guys are flying down this ice track in northern Italy going at 100 plus miles an hour. It was not the time for commentary on the Israeli-Gaza war," she added. "There's plenty of chances to speak about it. That was clearly not it... Rather than commenting on the bobsled competition and form or speed, he took it to vilify not only Israel, but to maliciously isolate and go after the team captain. It is just wholly inappropriate and he needs to be held responsible."

The IOC found itself in the headlines when they sold controversial t-shirts featuring Nazi propaganda, which were sold out.

"If they truly wanted to showcase extraordinary athletic talent, they could have honored someone like Jesse Owens, whose achievements at the 1936 Berlin Olympics stood in direct defiance of Nazi ideology. Instead, they chose to pay homage to Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. That choice speaks volumes," Rez said of the shirt.

Rez said she has seen antisemitism "skyrocket" since Oct. 7, 2023, and it has reached the sports world.

"The Band-Aid of antisemitism has been completely ripped off. It's very much normalized in certain areas and before it gets normalized in the sports arena," Rez said. "That's why the IOC and other sports bodies need to take a stand, put their foot down and say this will not be tolerated. They have to ensure that things like this never happen again in the future. It was again wholly wrong, entirely inappropriate."

Rez hd a message for the Jewish athletes who will still have to deal with antisemitic comments.

"There are millions supporting you, behind you. Keep your head up, be proud, and just do your best. We're behind you."
