‘It seems to be almost a daily occurrence’: DHS official is using car crashes to double down on migrant crackdowns

To take advantage of multiple fatal car crashes involving illegal immigrants across the country, a Department of Homeland Security official has focused on just that fact. According to the Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at DHS, Tricia McLaughlin, “It seems to be almost a daily occurrence where an illegal alien driving kills an innocent American. All of these deaths are preventable because these illegal aliens should have never been in our country.”

According to Fox News, in Louisiana, a 15-year-old boy on a bicycle was struck and killed by a vehicle allegedly driven by Juan Alfredo Chavarria Lezama, a 31-year-old illegal immigrant. The crash, which occurred in Livingston Parish, resulted in the teenager being airlifted to a hospital, where he later died from his injuries. Chavarria Lezama faces multiple charges, including vehicular homicide and driving while intoxicated and without a license. Authorities noted that he was also the subject of a detainer request from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
