A family's Thanksgiving celebration was replaced by mourning after an 11-year-old boy was struck and killed while playing outside his home, a tragedy that has since ignited a fierce political row involving federal immigration authorities and state officials.
At the centre of the storm is the revelation that the driver accused of the fatal hit-and-run is a Mexican national who had been expelled from the United States on four separate occasions. The collision, which took place just before the holiday, has renewed the debate regarding California's sanctuary policies and federal deportation orders.
