A tragic incident has unfolded in Washington State, where 27-year-old Trooper Christopher Gadd lost his life in a vehicular homicide. The suspect, a 33-year-old Mexican national named Raul Benitez-Santana, had been living in the country illegally for over a decade and had a criminal record that included convictions for domestic violence, assault, possession of marijuana, and traffic offenses.
Authorities have revealed that Benitez-Santana was allegedly under the influence of drugs and alcohol when he crashed into Trooper Gadd's cruiser. Despite his history of criminal activities, he had not been removed from the country in 2019, with ICE citing sanctuary policies as a contributing factor.
