The perps had lived here for many years. Despite their citizenship, they weren't really foreigners.
Anyway, we have a treaty to allow foreigners who get arrested meet with someone from their consulate. I don't have a problem with this. However, it is very much a states' rights issue. I thought there was a SCOTUS ruling on this a few years back, but can't remember exactly.
