CHATHAM COUNTY, Ga. (WTOC) - According to the Chatham County Police Department, Monday morning’s fatal crash was the result of a chase between Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and a suspect.

CCPD said in a press release department officers responded to the crash around 7:45 a.m., which happened right outside one of its precincts. The crash killed Hesse K-8 teacher Linda Davis.

Preliminary information shows Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was conducting an operation in the area of the Truman Parkway, and attempted to pull a man identified as Oscar Vasquez Lopez over. Lopez didn’t pull over, and ICE agents began chasing him. Lopez then crashed into Davis.

Davis was taken to the hospital where she was pronounced dead. Lopez was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Lopez has been arrested by CCPD officers and charged with first-degree homicide by vehicle, reckless driving, driving without valid license and failure to obey traffic control device.

According to a DHS press release, Lopez is from Guatemala and entered the United State illegally at an unknown time. A federal judge signed off on a final order of removal for Lopez in 2024.

Chatham County Sheriff’s Office records show Lopez has no prior criminal history in the county.

A teacher? 95% chance a lib activist to protect illegals who are invading America.

Just saying...

Illegal immigrants kill Americans all the time.
Obama’s ICE killed 56 illegal immigrants.
Trump’s ICE killed 2 protesters who were assaulting law enforcement.

Clearly, Trump is the bad guy.

ICE is winning. ICE is prevailing.

The general population of illegal aliens is being granted a respite while ICE concentrates on the deportation of illegals who are also criminals. The illegals are being given time and notice to accept the benefits of self deportation.

When the Border Patrol starts in on the detention of the general illegal alien population, all hell is going to break loose. The wives and children of the criminal illegals were spared by ICE. The wives and children of the criminals will not be spared by the border patrol.

From the Atlanta News First videos:

* The illegal (in a Ram Dakota) saw the checkpoint and made an illegal U-Turn.
* He then went on a high speed chase.
* The victim’s Lexus was about a half mile from school (from the Atlanta News First report).
* The truck, while in the high-speed chance, was struck, and then he went nose-into-driver’s door of the Lexus.

The teacher was killed by the T-bone crash. That’s the most dangerous type of incident.

“Lopez has been arrested by CCPD officers and charged with first-degree homicide by vehicle, reckless driving, driving without valid license and failure to obey traffic control device.”

Wonder why “felony eluding” isn’t listed . . .

One of Guatamala’s finest managed to turn a deportation into a murder conviction. Nice job, genius.
