Illegal immigrant's deadly crash not a 'crime of violence,' ICE says

[DigitalDrifter]

Bastards.

An illegal immigrant -- who police said was drunk while street racing when he killed a Nebraska woman in a car crash -- wasn’t detained by immigration officials because his offense did “not constitute a crime of violence,” the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency said in a March letter to Congress.

Edwin Mejia, 19, is accused of being drunk and driving recklessly when his vehicle slammed into 21-year-old Sarah Root’s car in January.

Root died at the hospital. Mejia later posted bond and fled. He’s been added to ICE’s “Most Wanted” list.

“Mr. Mejia should not need to be on this list – he should be in jail,” Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., said in a March 30 statement. “ICE originally said that Mr. Mejia was not an ‘enforcement priority,’ but this morning he was placed on their Most Wanted list. The public still does not have a complete account of what went wrong.”

So, do you think that all DUI's that involve reckless driving (i.e. street racing) should be prosecuted as crimes of violence?

Or, is it just the ones that involve illegal immigrants?

Lol! Youd think, being illegal, youd be more careful not to draw attention to yourself.

Do you think we should stop prosecuting DUI's? Should negligent and vehicular homicide be taken off the books?

The regime has made it very clear that illegals won't be persued, even if they commit a crime beyond the crime of living in The United States illegally.

Never said that he shouldn't be prosecuted for negligent driving and DUI, I'm just asking you why you think extra charges should be thrown in on him and giving him the crime of violence charge? Do they slap that charge on all DUI's, or is it just this one?

And............even if you kill someone while DUI, if you can post bail, you can walk free until your court date.

The cops followed the rules, booked him for DUI, and because he made bail, he was let out. Not the police's fault that he turned into a flight risk and jumped bail.

Nobody said he should be prosecuted because he's an illegal alien.

Maybe he'll try to get the same lawyer that white kid got ... the one who presented the "victim of affluenza" defense. Kid is drunk, kills four people in traffic accident and Mom takes precious can-do-no-wrong kid and hauls off to Mexico. Lovely world we're living in.
