Homeland Security officials Wednesday named an illegal immigrant whom police accuse of killing a young woman in a drunken-driving accident to their list of 10 most wanted fugitives, hoping to capture a man whos become a black eye for immigration agents.
Agents failed to respond in February to pick up Eswin Mejia, 19, after he was charged with vehicular homicide by Omaha, Nebraska, authorities.

ICE Director Sarah Saldana appeared to stumble in testimony to Congress about the incident, saying that agents would have responded if the victim of the crash, 21-year-old Sarah Root, had already died, rather than still hanging on for life at the time ICE was notified.
Lawmakers said not only did that seem a ridiculous standard, but they said Ms. Saldana was wrong about the facts Root had died by the time ICE was notified.

The Honduran Mejia, 19, killed 21-year-old Sarah Root while allegedly street racing on January 31, rear-ending her so hard she succumbed to her fatal injuries that same night. Police found Mejia's blood-alcohol level was four times the legal limit, and the alien had "a suspended driver's license."
Root had graduated from Bellevue University with a 4.0 GPA just the day before.
Although Mejia faced up to 20 years in prison for killing Root, Judge Jeffrey Marcuzzo set Mejia's bond at $50,000. Mejia's brother paid the necessary $5,000-ten percent and the illegal promptly disappeared, rubbing salt in the mourning Root family's wounds.
Police did not contact Root's family to warn them they freed their daughter's killer.
One more to add to the list that the treason party and GOP treasonists completely ignore............

I looked for this online and found that article...It is older than I thought...On the news this morning, I caught a blurb about the phrase being banned at an institution in New York...Tried to find out what it was...This is all that I found...
Do you know what the newer one is that the news referred to???
We need a 20 million most wanted list.
The WaPo didn’t display a photo of Eswin Mejia in their top 10 wanted criminals in America article. Real helpful whoopiepoopie.
