Prosecutors have filed federal charges against the woman accused of causing a fatal school bus crash near Cottonwood in southwestern Minnesota.
Twenty-four-year-old Olga Marino Franco del Cid is charged in federal court with two counts of aggravated identity theft and two counts of false representation of a Social Security number.
Prosecutors allege she gave authorities a false name and Social Security number after the crash February 19th, when four students were killed when a van she drove crashed into their school bus.
The same charges were also filed against 29-year-old Francisco Sangabriel-Mendoza, also of Minneota. He was the registered owner of the van. A warrant has been issued for his arrest.
Franco was charged earlier in state court with four counts of criminal vehicular homicide.
thanks for the crimalien update!
This story should be translated into Spanish, set in 48 point type, printed out and posted in every DMV drivers license bureau in the country.
It’s a start.
With a long way to go......
Nice tag line.
It's a good thing for all of us that the rest of our undocumented friends from south of the border are absolutely not doing any of those things. They're only here to do jobs that Americans won't do. /sarc
It should be posted a G. A. Hormel in Austin and at every turkey, pork, etc., processing plant in America.
Only about 19,999,999 more to go.
how much do you want to bet (if and when he’s found) he has a mile long rap sheet?
I am fully expecting it.....
From the Star Tribune........
“Right after the crash, Franco identified herself as Alianiss Nunez-Morales. But immigration investigators found the real Nunez-Morales in Connecticut. She told them her purse and identification documents were stolen more than six months ago when she was living in Puerto Rico, according to an ICE affidavit.
The affidavit alleges Franco used Nunez-Morales’ Social Security number to obtain a Minnesota identification card, an ID that is not a driver’s license. Franco allegedly was not licensed to drive in Minnesota. She also allegedly gave the Social Security number at two Minnesota companies where she worked.
When ICE agents searched her home in Minneota last Friday, they found a Guatemalan birth certificate, a certified Guatemalan ID card for Franco, correspondence to and from Guatemala in the name of her parents, and numerous receipts showing money transfers to her mother in Guatemala, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a news release.”

just wanted to bump this up. I also wondered how she was able to work...but as you can see all the paper work she was using was legit. As far as the employers knew she was a legal citizen.
