BOSTON (AP) — Two Boston brothers who claimed to be inspired in part by Donald Trump’s views on immigrants face new hate crime charges for allegedly beating and urinating on a homeless Mexican man.

The indictments announced Friday charge Scott Leader, 38, and Steve Leader, 30, with civil rights violations while causing bodily injury, a charge that carries up to 10 years in prison.

Scott Leader allegedly told police after their arrest in August: “Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported,” according to a state police report.

Prosecutors have said the brothers encountered the man while heading home from a Boston Red Sox game, then urinated on him, punched him and beat him with a metal pole. He was sleeping near a train station at the time.
