In the sanctuary state of Illinois, where Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) has attempted to impede federal immigration enforcement, an illegal alien is accused of killing a Republican elected official and his wife in Coles County.
Police say that 34-year-old illegal alien Edwin Pacheco-Meza of Honduras was driving a van on Oct. 24 when he crossed the center lane and struck 71-year-old Michael Clayton and his wife, 66-year-old Gail Clayton — killing them instantly.
Michael Clayton was a Republican elected official who served on the Coles County Board.
Pacheco-Meza, who crossed the southern border as an unknown got-away, was in his vehicle with 18-year-old illegal alien Juan Morales-Martinez of Guatemala, who crossed the border in December 2023 and was released into the United States interior by the Biden administration.
The illegal aliens were found with an extended magazine, firearm ammunition, drugs, and an open container of alcohol in their vehicle, police say.
Pacheco-Meza was charged with reckless homicide and drunk driving, while Morales-Martinez was charged with drug possession and weapons violations.
After they were arrested, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged detainers against the illegal aliens, seeking custody of them, but the detainers were ignored by the Clark County Jail thanks to Pritzker’s sanctuary state policy.
Still, ICE agents waited for Morales-Martinez to be released from jail and arrested him outside of the jail. Pacheco-Meza remains in Clark County Jail.
“Two innocents were killed because this criminal illegal alien chose to drive under the influence,” the Department of Homeland Security’s Tricia McLaughlin said.

It’s like an old science fiction movie, where the aliens arrived with a pre-programmed mission to “kill all the Republicans”
Edwin Pacheco-Meza of Honduras and his buddy never should have been in the US….the democrats brought them in. Their hands are dripping with blood.
The family needs to sue Pritzker and the democrat party.
Pritzker should be arrested and thrown in jail.
In fact, the whole democrat party belongs in Gitmo.
Their shadow president belongs in Gitmo with them.
““Two innocents were killed because this criminal illegal alien chose to drive under the influence,””
that wasn’t the illegal aliens first wrong.
chose to come illegally,
chose to drive illegally or with fraud document,
chose to get drunk (multiple drinks),
chose to cross center line.
Likely other wrongs before where I started.
Another DUI from an illegal? Man, I’ve been seeing this since the mid-1990’s. I’ve had friends in hospital beds for months, and most recently, a friend of my son’s was killed by an illegal DUI. I’m so sick of this garbage. Let’s take out the trash.
Every time my wife and I are on the highway, I look at all the trucks and semitrailers on the road, and wonder how many are being driven by illegals who can’t even speak or read English.
Still, ICE agents waited for Morales-Martinez to be released from jail and arrested him outside of the jail. Pacheco-Meza remains in Clark County Jail.
Released from jail 6 days after killing two people. Time for short rope and tall tree
Ah... such love. Can't you just feel it coming off of them?
But the bilge rats here would have cried if they had been arrested before their killing two people. They would weep copious tears about how we should not be deporting people until they had actually committed a horrible crime.
Ah shut up!
We have to remember that on October 26th, Mayor Brandon Johnson said we are not to use the term “illegal alien” as it is racist.
Too bad we are going to violate his restriction.
There is still a legal term and common usage so we refuse.
an unknown got-away means, invited by Biden, processed by democrats, released by them into our midst, then one kills two of us with a van loaded with illegal items.
Good job democrats.
Now democrats insist that we continue to feed, house, medicate and pay these foreign criminal murderers.
How about, No. It’s the same in Spanish.
A LAWSUIT AGAINST PRITZKER PERSONALLY FOR ABOUT $100 MILLION SHOULD BE NICE.
The aho illegal aliens are out of control. Time for us to stand up for OUR America.
The wrong people died in that accident.
Another of the senseless tragedies caused 100% by the Marxist-Democrats beginning with the fraudulent 2008 election and continuing through the one that was stolen in 2020. 100%!
Illinois is hopeless...as long as it is run by Chicago democrats. The rest of the state is like Wyoming politically.
Too bad we are going to violate his restriction.

In any truly civilized country law-abiding citizens will eventually be left no other choice but to resort to the law of survival. When the government turns bad, it’s only a question of time until that happens.
They get a free ride to do what ever they want here in the USA from these efffen scumbag politicians.

The best place to begin that process will be on Capitol Hill in
the wonderful city of Washington, D.C.!

A bunch of ‘em, because many are needed in Washington, D.C.!
