A Guatemalan woman who spent eight years in prison for causing a fatal school bus crash, and was later deported, is facing federal charges for returning to the United States.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Minnesota announced an indictment against 35-year-old Olga Marina Franco del Cid Friday for illegal re-entry, identification document fraud and false representation of social security account number. Franco del Cid will appear before Magistrate Judge Katherine M. Menendez on Monday.
In 2008, Franco del Cid ran a stop sign and crashed a van into a school bus in Cottonwood, Minn., killing four children under the age of 13. The crash drew national attention to the immigration debate. She was convicted of four counts of criminal vehicular homicide and 17 counts of criminal vehicular operation, giving a false name to police, failing to stop at the entrance to a thruway and driving without a valid license.
Responders at the scene found Franco del Cid behind the steering wheel, her right foot wedged under a crumpled dashboard near the accelerator. Her attorneys argued that her boyfriend was the one driving the van and fled because he didn’t want to be deported to Mexico. They argued that he was thrown out of the van on impact, and Franco del Cid was thrown into the driver’s seat...

Uh oh.
Driving buses that americans will not drive.
identification document fraud and false representation of social security account number
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EVERY illegal alien could be charged with these.
Looks likes birds of a feather and all that.
Just 8 years for killing kids while in possession of illegal ID documents?
She wasn’t driving the bus, T-boned the bus in a van.
Time to deport these repeaters to quonset huts in northern Alaska for a few decades until they get the point. That should stop the repeaters from coming back.
Guilty...

I’m surprised she got that much. If I did something like that I would never see freedom again.
That’s an good idea, our version of Siberian labor camps.
But, if D’rats ever took all three branches...
The democrats have proven they are unfit to hold elected office. The Republicans need to explain that to the voters.
BTW, the wanted to go north when they came here. I say, send them way north.
Came back to vote..
This was all obviously “an act of love”.
the illegal murderer knows that being in our jails is better than sh*thole Guatamala.
BUILD THE WALL NOW.
From a link in the article:
Franco del Cid was deported to Guatemala in 2016 after serving eight years of a 12½-year sentence. She remains in ICE custody pending possible federal proceedings or reinstatement of her removal order. If convicted of illegally re-entering the U.S., she could face up to 20 years in federal prison.
So, no matter what, we’re going to continue to pay for this woman forever.
Where’s the flat earth when you need one, so she could be dropped off at that particular bus stop.

I was thinking something along the lines of Djibouti - why do we want them in one of our states?
