**Tragedy Strikes as Illegal Alien Leaves Woman in Critical Condition in Sanctuary County**
In a shocking incident, an illegal alien, recently released under the Biden administration's lax immigration policies, has been accused of leaving a Maryland woman in critical condition after a head-on collision.
The suspect, Kevin Alexis Mendez-Ortiz, a Honduran national, was involved in a devastating crash on November 9 in Prince George’s County—an area notorious for its sanctuary policies that prioritize protecting illegal immigrants over the safety of local citizens.
Witnesses report that Mendez-Ortiz crossed into oncoming traffic, resulting in a violent collision that left the victim with life-threatening injuries, including a broken vertebra, a ruptured diaphragm, and multiple fractures. Reports indicate that after the crash, Mendez-Ortiz fled the scene, further complicating an already tragic situation.
This alarming event highlights the critical safety risks posed by sanctuary jurisdictions that aim to shield illegal immigrants from deportation. Critics argue that such policies place citizens in harm's way by allowing potentially dangerous individuals to remain in the community.
Jeremy Bacon, ICE Baltimore Acting Field Office Director, expressed significant concern over the consequences of these policies. He stated, “A U.S. citizen suffered devastating injuries because of the reckless behavior of an illegal alien who had no lawful right to be in our country.”
Mendez-Ortiz had previously been apprehended while crossing the southern border and was ultimately released with a Notice to Appear, a decision that many are now questioning, especially in light of this incident.
Authorities have cited numerous traffic violations against Mendez-Ortiz, including failure to display a license, illegally operating a vehicle without proper authorization, and a hit-and-run on a vehicle with bodily injury. These violations compound the severity of his actions and raise serious concerns about the effectiveness of current immigration enforcement.
As this story continues to unfold, it raises pressing questions about the risks associated with sanctuary policies and the broader implications for public safety in America. Residents of Prince George’s County, and others in similar jurisdictions, deserve to be informed and protected, rather than left vulnerable to such reckless actions by individuals who should not have been allowed to remain in the country.
The incident serves as a reminder of the urgent need for comprehensive immigration reform that prioritizes the safety and security of American citizens over the protection of illegal immigrants.
