An illegal immigrant who killed a police office while driving the wrong way in on an Arizona freeway Monday had a blood-alcohol level almost three times the legal limit, the Associated Press reported Friday. Raul Silva Corona had driven 35 miles in the wrong direction on three freeways with a blood alcohol level of .238 percent in the wee hours of Monday morning before he killed Mesa Police Officer Brandon Mendoza, according to the AP's report. In Arizona, a driver is considered intoxicated with a blood-alcohol level of 0.08 percent. Mendoza, who served for thirteen years at the Mesa Police Department, was on his way home from work. Customs and Immigration Enforcement told the AP that Corona, who was also killed in the crash, was from Mexico and in the country illegally. This was not the first time Corona had broken the law. The AP notes that in 1994 Corona plead guilty to a criminal conspiracy charge in Colorado, and prosecutors dismissed other charges of burglary, assault, and leaving the scene of an accident.News of the accident comes as lawmakers express outrage at a recent report revealing that last year ICE released more than 36,000 criminal immigrants convicted of nearly 88,000 crimes. According to the document, 16,070 of those convictions were from drunk or drugged driving.

Beyond the thousands of CONVICTED drunk driving illegal immigrants this administration turned loose on the streets, cops in local municipalities cut loose hispanics they believe to be here possibly illegally from Mexico (the cases don’t go to trial and sometimes they are released without booking). Too much red tape to prosecute them, they don’t have the funds for steep finds and insurance payouts, and the court would need to pay for an attorney for them.
Which freeway drunk are they talking about?
We’ll see how long it takes the Dept. of Injustice’s Eric Holder to put this scumbag back out on the street.
He would if Eric Holder's injustice department had bought him the tequila shots and the car to prove how dangerous drunk driving is. Fast and Furious II, Whatever Boogaloo.
Another clumsy headline from our media!!
Sorry the policeman was killed.
Illegals kill so many people drunk driving it would blow peoples minds. We had an incident here last month, another death from a drunk illegal, I tell people who don’t believe me that they should take a look at this list.......

That is why releasing illegals into the country, ESPECIALLY felons is TREASON! It is willfully and knowingly allowing US citizens to die at the hands of foreign invaders which is an act of WAR! What is the freakin’ difference if say Russia invaded and started executing people in the street and the White house was assisting them? It is the SAME thing! There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that the 36,000 illegals they just released are going to kill people, and incredibly the freakin’ RINO party just sits back and yawns.
18 U.S. Code § 2381 - Treason
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
They released all those others why not this guy?
Not a very good journalistic opening sentence. It reads like the cop was drunk driving the wrong way.
I meant opening headline.
If a drunk illegal crashed into a family memeber and killed them, i would be damned tempted to go full vigilante on them if they were not prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
One too many Coronas.
[ They released all those others why not this guy? ]
Professional Courtesy and all...
Re: “Yes, it was a spectacularly bad headline.”
The copy editor was drunk and was on the right side of the wrong noun.
The cop who was killed was born in Mexico. Go figure.
BTW, i hear Mexican workers p___s into the beer. I don’t know if this is true but I have friends who refuse to drink Corona or any other drinks from Mexico.
Actually, I think the freeway was drunk.
It should be "Drunken wetback driving on wrong side of road kills cop"

This happens quite frequently in the D/FW area. Not with cops, necessarily, but illegals have caused numerous accidents on wrong-way drunken accidents.
That and all the liberals wanting these criminals to have drivers licenses under the excuse that it will make them safer drivers, which is a great big pile of Bolshevik!
