A Democratic prosecutor has released an illegal immigrant teen involved in the fatal accident that killed a 24-year-old community volunteer on probation. The fifteen-year-old Colombian illegal immigrant will only serve two years of probation and 100 hours of community service after a plea deal offered by the woke prosecutor.
According to court documents, the illegal alien male teen, who has not been named due to privacy laws, was driving at 90 miles per hour in a residential area, twice the speed limit of 45 mph.
He was racing his mother’s uninsured Jeep Cherokee when he T-boned Kaitlyn Weaver’s Volkswagen Jetta waiting at a stop sign, immediately killing her on the scene.
However, progressive Arapahoe County District Attorney Amy Padden offered the illegal alien a plea deal in exchange for admission of guilt and a promise to attend school at American taxpayers’ cost, and not break any more laws.
Padden was endorsed by the left’s heavyweights, including the former Democratic presidential primaries candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, the state’s Democratic Gov. Jared Polis, and Colorado U.S. Senators John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennet. She also shared photos with the failed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
According to his mother, the speeding teen was supposed to be sent back to Colombia, but has since applied for asylum.
Meanwhile, Kaitlyn was a model citizen, a psychology graduate who volunteered at a suicide hotline and later worked at a drug rehabilitation center.
Appearing on Fox News, Kaitlyn’s father described her as an “amazing human” who “spent her life trying to help people” but was taken at the prime of her life.
Nonetheless, Arapahoe County Assistant District Attorney Ryan Brackley condemned the reckless, unlawful behavior and said he believes the “negotiated sentence acknowledges the seriousness of this preventable tragedy.”
However, the prosecutor’s office deflected and blamed “speed” for the death of the 24-year-old social worker.
“We acknowledge Kaitlyn Weaver’s death was the direct result of a crash caused by an unlicensed teenager driving at nearly twice the posted speed limit,” it said in a Facebook post. “This tragic loss is a powerful reminder that it is not just alcohol or drug-impaired driving that takes lives. Driving at dangerous speeds has deadly consequences too, and they are felt by our entire community.”
However, Kaitlyn’s dad blamed the outcome on the collision between immigration laws and the criminal justice system, suggesting that the suspect’s immigration status might have played a role in the lenient sentence.
Progressives have seemingly shied away from sending illegal immigrants to prisons where ICE might pick them up and immediately deport them.
However, releasing them onto the streets poses a challenge for ICE, as they may require necessary warrants and reasonable grounds to detain them before checking their immigration status. Recently, a County Circuit judge allegedly helped an illegal immigrant escape ICE by ushering him through a non-public door.
“We had a collision where the immigration system and the criminal justice system collided, and now my daughter’s dead,” Kaitlyn’s dad said.
Nonetheless, other teens responsible for deadly road crashes have received harsher sentences, such as 18-year-old Jesse Lloyd, who received 7 years for a vehicle rollover that resulted in a fatality.
However, blue states are notorious for handling illegal immigrants responsible for deadly road accidents with kid gloves. Recently, California released an illegal alien DUI killer, Oscar Eduardo Ortega-Anguiano, after serving just 3.5 years of his 10 sentence after killing two Americans.
The habitual criminal with a lengthy rap sheet was driving at 100 miles per hour while under the influence of alcohol when he crashed into two 19-year-old American lovers.
Fortunately, the Trump administration intervened and slapped new charges on the illegal immigrant after his release, preventing him from returning to the streets where ICE might struggle to find him without the assistance of the sanctuary state, which usually refuses to cooperate.
