Man charged in trooper’s death was in U.S. illegally, officials say

Trooper Michael Pahira Jr. was killed Wednesday while conducting safety inspections on Interstate 81 in Schuylkill County.

Michael Bon, 33, is facing charges of homicide by vehicle and related offenses in connection with Pahira’s death.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, Bon is in the U.S. illegally from Haiti and holds a commercial driver’s license from Massachusetts.

The department said Bon was admitted into the U.S. as a parolee in 2024 and filed an application for temporary protected status, but it was never granted.

In 2025, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services issued Bon a notice of termination of parole, but he refused to leave the country, the department said.

Bon is now on an immigration hold, according to the department.

The criminal illegal alien scum crossing our boarders are the cast offs of mexico, central and south America and the third world as well as china, africa, india and many enemy moslem nations and groups paid for by soros like billionaires using their money to attack the American people in an undeclared war.

They can not read our road signs, they flout our LAWS hourly, daily and every week they are not captured and deported. They suck our tax dollars down their rude throats and then have the audacity to complain.


Small rural hospitals emergency rooms and urgent care facilities have been run out of business and CLOSED because of NON reimbursed costs for the treatment of ILLEGAL ALIENS under demoRAT administrations.


Inter city emergency rooms and urgent care facilities are over run and are on the edge of losing the ability to provide reasonable and safe care.


Things such as MRI's and CAT scans that can mean the deference between an in time diagnoses and untreated fatal diseases are being delayed to accommodate ILLEGAL ALIENS.


TAX paying American citizens are DYING hourly, daily, weekly because of this and the demoRATS, the woke left want you and I to pay more in taxes and get less in services back so they, the left can build an ILLEGAL ALIEN block for census numbers to gain seats in the house of representatives and in some cases to allow them to vote.


As I write this NGO's, demoRATs political pac's, foreign socialist millionaires like george soros are funneling money to antifa and other paid professional protesters and terrorists to attack law enforcement and agents of the federal government. It's time we hold these provocateurs accountable for their treasonous activities. The enemy of America george soros pouring millions of dollars in to anti Trump, anti police, anti ICE antifa and the tainted blm group supporting criminal activity, fomenting riots.


I am sure that a large number of people would support the capture and extradition of soros and his ilk for trial or maybe a drone strike or two would get the point across?


Again please remember that the scum crossing our boarders are the cast offs (convicts, mental patients, gang members) of mexico, central and south America and the third world as well as china, africa and many enemy moslem nations and groups paid for by soros like billionaires using their money to attack the American people in an undeclared war. And to be sure it is a war with real causalities (VICTIMS OF ILLEGAL ALIENS MEMORIAL).


These cowardly attackers are assisted by our own quislings, collaborators paid and self retarded idealistic fellow travelers. Many are communists, socialists and just plain fascists. That includes the woke, demoRATs, liberals and NGO's that until recently were funded by usaid.

Wait. He was admitted as a parolee?
What reason would we ever admit someone who didn’t qualify to be admitted so we let him in anyway?
Biden admin really screwed the USA.

“Now we get to give him 3 hots and a cot.”

He’s in a blue state. They’ll likely give him a room in a nice hotel and a monthly allowance. Those commies sure do love illegals.

Who hired that a-hole?

The company should be charged with criminal conspiracy to commit homicide.

“””Who hired that a-hole?

It is not a simple employer/employee arrangement. Here is how it probably applies in this case.

1. Haitian dude rents a truck from a truck rental company.

2. Haitian dude gets an order from a third party broker to haul some stuff from point A to point B.

The term parolee doesn’t mean he was on parole from some criminal charge.

It merely means he was an immigrant who was released until the next appearance for an immigration hearing, I believe. You can be an immigration parolee without any kind of criminal conviction.

Well, I hope the Trioper’s family sues the merde out of the State of Massachusetts, the trucking company that Bob was driving for, and Bob, himself.
To Hades with all of those who facilitated this invasion!

Short rope and a tall tree would resolve the issue.

Under a landmark Supreme Court ruling within the last few months, the third party broker in that scenario can now be held liable for the actions of the carrier.

I didn’t imply it meant criminal
I clearly stated he was let in that way as he didn’t qualify under regular rules.
Which is my point IF he didn’t qualify why let him in at all
And then he refused to leave? Why give him a choice

✝️
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.
