The captain of an illegal charter boat that flipped in New York Harbor, killing a mom and her baby, is an illegal immigrant from El Salvador who is now in federal immigration custody, The Post has learned.
Manuel Hernandez, 46, a limo driver without a boating license, was in the US illegally when he capsized the overloaded 21-foot vessel on Aug. 8, drowning Sara Sanchez and her baby daughter, Antonella Garcia, the Department of Homeland Security said Wednesday.
“This criminal illegal alien was illegally and recklessly conducting unlicensed boat tours in New York Harbor when his boat capsized, killing a 27-year-old woman and her 5-month-old baby,” DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in a statement.
“Thanks to the hard work of the men and women of the Coast Guard, ICE, and our federal, state and local partners, this criminal is off our streets and out of our waterways,” Mullin added. “Once he faces justice for his crimes, we will make sure that he is swiftly removed from our country.”
Hernandez was arrested and charged in federal court with two counts of misconduct and neglect of a ship officer resulting in death and released on $50,000 bail.
A subsequent investigation by the US Coast Guard Investigative Services determined that the bumbling boat captain was an illegal migrant and he was subsequently snatched up by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Hernandez illegally crossed the southern border through Texas in 2007 by lying to a border agent and falsely claiming he was an American citizen, according to the feds.

Diversity is our strength!!
“This criminal is off our streets”
This is after the fact, Gus. I think a better idea is to get them “off our streets” before they kill anybody.
the bumbling boat captain
Bumbling, Post ?
He killed two people . Murderous bastard is more like it.
“Captain in fatal NY Harbor boat tragedy is illegal immigrant: ‘Criminal is off our streets’”. He didn’t have a hand counter for the max people on his boat?
RELEASED ON BAIL????????????????????
WHY????????
Facebook needs to be dragged into this as well. They're enabling such deadly law breaking.
DOES ICE HAVE HIM NOW??????/
Knuckleheaded?
“...off our streets”...and onto our boats.
Americans have to suffer through endless courses and exams to get licensed to do simple things like hair dressing and cosmetology. Yet this guy waltzes through with zero qualifications and gets to captain a boat! What the hay?
Everyone behind that disgrace should be fired immediately.
because he’s illegal and for commies, he gets everything he wants on a silver platter as long as he votes democrat
The leftist propaganda series “Law & Order” will portray the boat pilot as a blonde Swede.
The “Captain” was probably transporting illegal aliens into the country or around this country.
Why else would a Mother have her 5 month old Baby with her on a sailing route that was operating at 1.30AM?
I don’t have kids, but aren’t 5 month old infants supposed to be in their beds at 1.30AM, vs on the open waters?
Gypsy tour boats run by illegals ?
NYC hustle .
You haven't spent much time around the "culture" that held this birthday party on the boat.
Watch for the islamocommie “he was just a hard working immigrant” talking points being fed to the press. Just like the illegal from El Salvador that killed a mother in Virginia last night……..”he was just a teen” bullshit.
Birthday Party? For the infant? At that hour? Ai, Yi, Yi!
That little Guy is too small to even break a Pinata open.
