Full title: Illegal immigrant arrested in deadly Oregon crash fled to Mexico after jail didn't honor ICE hold request
A 20-year-old man in the country illegally who was street-racing when he crashed into a car in Oregon, killing a woman, was able to flee to Mexico after local authorities did not honor an immigration detainer, according to federal officials.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said in a news release on Tuesday that Alejandro Maldonado-Hernandez was arrested on July 12 in connection with the fatal car crash that killed Janice Ator and seriously injured her husband, Patrick Ator.
After he was released from the hospital with minor injuries, Maldonado-Hernandez was booked into the Washington County Jail on charges of felony manslaughter in the second degree, felony assault in the third degree and misdemeanor reckless driving. ICE said that officers lodged an immigration detainer on July 16, but that by Aug. 8 the jail failed to honor it and let the 20-year-old go after he posted bail.
“It is real slap in the face to the victim's friends and family when criminal aliens, in this case a man who has caused the death of a woman and severe injuries to her husband, are released into the community due to dangerous sanctuary policies,” Nathalie Asher, Seattle field office director for ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations, said in a statement. “How many lives have to be lost before politicians are more concerned about public safety than their own political agendas?”
ICE said that according to a Washington County Sherriff’s Department news alert, investigators learned on Aug. 27 that Maldonado-Hernandez fled to Mexico to avoid prosecution. The 20-year-old remains at large, federal officials said.

This is becoming a frequent story. The government is not doing its job. If something happened to me or my loved ones such as this travesty I would go nuclear.
Why was he granted bail in the first place? Wasn’t he considered a flight risk?
Isn’t this obstruction of justice?
Aiding and abetting?
Something?
Don’t worry. He’ll come back when the heat is off.
When the husband recovers, he has my blessing to take blood vengeance on those responsible.
Two less Americans in the eyes of the open borders bassholes.
Exactly, this is a common thing now in sanctuary cities, counties and states.
The idiot politicians in these liberal commie bastions swear it’s best for the residents though because illegals aren’t afraid to testify in cases involving the minority community. Bullsnipe.
They should try to convince Mr. Patrick Ator of that after losing his wife of 57 years because of this illegal alien scum.
The City Council, Mayor, and Police Chief of that city should be held accountable. Only when one of their family members is hurt will they do anything about it.
They were racing, came over the crest of a small hill and hit her at like 100mph. The paint from the accident investigation is still there. I drive that route every day. Someone screwed the pooch big time letting him out.
Spread the word in Mexico. He was helping the DEA by being an informant.
That’s an excellent question and it’s clear the Oregon courts don’t give a whit.
Washington County is a Portland Oregon suburb and is likely infected by the local LEFTism disorders. Besides, this poor soul was just doing a task that Citizens would not do.
“Why was he granted bail in the first place?”
Oregon (D) sanctuary state.
Time to personally settle with those who enable the slaughter of innocent Americans.
For what it’s worth, this happened in a close-in suburb of Portland. It’s poisonous for Americans, here.

Don’t hold their family members responsible.
These bastards are responsible.
The City Council, Mayor, and Police Chief of that city should be held accountable.
Actually Washington county is really nice we’re insulated from Portland and multnomah county. At least somewhat.
