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.

It's great that Josh Christenson and Jorge Fitz-Gibbon at The New York Post refer to him as a "Captain" despite him not having a license.
He was as much of a captain as Captain Morgan - who was likely involved in the party anyway.
This illegal alien piece of crap was no more a ‘’captain’’ of anything than a donkey is a race horse.
This is why I despise Latinos like this.
These Third World inbred idiots think laws are for the ‘’gringos’, ‘’the Whites and this is the result.
The El Salvadorian needs to fill a spot down there in the CECOT prison.
What a surprise......
Tie him up with weights, put him in a row boat, and turn it over! Why should taxpayers have to foot the bill for further proceedings?
Apparently, they're not "our" streets nor "our" waterways, Markwayne. If they were our streets and our waterways, none of these illegal alien invaders would be infesting them.
I say keelhaul him, right there on Liberty Island. Livestream it for all the world to see.
They're correct. It's others who refuse to accept the truth.
I have Adams words imprinted in my brain and on more than one occasion I’ve shut up a liberal or tow with them
Released on bail doesnt mean he is off our streets? Im confused.
From the article excerpt: "Hernandez was arrested and charged in federal court... 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.

Don’t stop there.
Go after any insurance company that refused to do due diligence and provided coverage.

Prayers sent for mother and baby✝️🙏🏻
He’s just drowning the illegals American refuse to.
Thanks for posting; yes.
As we all suspected.
