DHS: Two Wisconsin teens would 'still be alive' if not for sanctuary policies protecting illegal immigrant
AOL / Fox News ^ | July 27, 2025 | Greg Wehner

An illegal alien from Honduras faces deportation after allegedly driving while intoxicated and crashing, killing two teenagers in Dane County, Wisconsin.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has lodged a detainer against 30-year-old Noelia Saray Martinez-Avila, who was charged in the deaths of 18-year-old Hallie Helgeson and 19-year-old Brady Heiling.

"Hallie Helgeson and Brady Heiling had their whole lives ahead of them—and they would still be alive today if it weren’t for Noelia Saray Martinez-Avila—a criminal illegal alien from Honduras," Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said. "Martinez-Avila recklessly drove the wrong way on a highway while intoxicated and killed these two teens.

"ICE has lodged an arrest detainer to remove this public safety threat from the U.S.," she continued. "Unfortunately, this sanctuary jurisdiction has a history of not honoring ICE arrest detainers often leading to the release of murderers and other heinous criminals. Under Secretary Noem, these precious victims will not be forgotten, and we will fight for justice."

Martinez-Avila faces charges of homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle, homicide by the use of a vehicle, operating a vehicle while intoxicated and causing injury, knowingly operating a vehicle with a revoked license while causing death, knowingly operating a vehicle with a revoked license while causing bodily harm, failing to install an ignition interlock device and violating a court order, among other charges.

If the Republicans don’t PLASTER THEIR FACES throughout the country, then their deaths will have been in vain.

Why shouldn’t all illegals should get the death penalty for any such crimes. They commit a crime to commit other crimes. It’s all layered and intentional.

“If the Republicans don’t PLASTER THEIR FACES throughout the country…”

Plaster the faces of the people who voted for this policy. That would be even better.

Their parents may object to that. They could be good woke Democrats, in favor of open borders. See Karmelo Anthony/Austin Metcalf.

I was run over by a drunken illegal fifteen years ago. Had to spend an entire summer in the hospital and nearly died.

Hope this guy who killed the teens gets a lot more punishment than the guy who hit me (he was freed and continued to rack up more DUIs).

“An illegal alien from Honduras faces deportation after allegedly driving while intoxicated and crashing, killing two teenagers in Dane County, Wisconsin.”

What kind of justice is this? Will he be able to sneak back into America and continue his destructive ways? More and more it looks like justice in this Republic has become a black comedy.

Deportation? Why not deportation after 10 years in prison at hard labor. Do they do “hard labor” any more?

From the article: "Araya’s toxicology report after the crash revealed no alcohol or drugs in his system. As a result, Araya’s attorney filed a motion to lower his bond amount."

I also saw in the first link you sent to the post on X that the original charge was something like "DUI by sleep deprivation" or something like that. I'm not sure why the bond was lowered when the tox report had no bearing on the original charges.

I’m getting tired of these subhuman illegal alien invaders sneaking into America and using our modern machinery to murder Americans. They should not be allowed to go anywhere near vehicles. They treat them like weapons.

The children's families should sue everyone responsible for or complicit in violating US immigration laws--and collect.

Officials, elected and otherwise, who are guilty or complicit should be personally financially responsible for damages and not be allowed to hide behind any protections.

The perp is a flight risk.

The bond should have been much higher.

What continues to piss me off is Local News stations in Texas, when reporting on things like an intoxication manslaughter suspect, the ones with 4 names for their name, makes no mention whatsoever of their immigration status, nor do they allude to it.

As a citizen, this is what I want to know.
