Illegal Immigrant Arrested in Crash That Killed Adviser to Senator. ( Cortez Masto (Democrat, Nevada )
Washington Free Beacon ^ | April 17, 2024 | Matthew Xiao

The suspect in a hit-and-run crash earlier this month that killed a senior adviser to Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D., Nev.) is an 18-year-old migrant who entered the United States illegally, the Reno Gazette-Journal reported on Tuesday.

"[Elmer Rueda-Linares] entered the United States March 12, 2021, at or near the Rio Grande City, Texas, Port of Entry without inspection by an immigration official," the Department of Homeland Security told the outlet in a statement on Tuesday, adding Rueda-Linares was arrested but "later released on his own recognizance June 22, 2021."

Rueda-Linares fled the scene following a two-vehicle crash at around 4:30 a.m. on April 6 in Reno, Nev., that killed Kurt Englehart, who was a state senior adviser to Cortez Masto. "The occupants who fled the scene were later located by police, and the driver arrested. Impairment does appear to be a factor in this crash," a news release noted at the time.

The teenage illegal immigrant is being held on $100,000 bail but has since had his charge reduced from felony hit-and-run to failing to stop at the scene of an accident, according to the Reno Gazette-Journal. His next court appearance will be on Thursday.

"Sen. Cortez Masto looks forward to justice being served and has confidence in the local police and prosecutors," a spokeswoman for the Nevada senator said in a Tuesday statement to the outlet.

So, illegals occasionally provide a useful service.

In related news, former President Trump had a ticket for failing to make a complete stop before making a right-hand turn increased to felony obstructing a government proceeding.

He was a migrant who entered the US illegally.

Well! That is much better than an illegal alien, right?

Watch an episode or two of on patrol. Will really get your juices flowing. Drivers license? O comprende. This your car? No comprende. You been drinking cervesa? No comprende. The only positive point is they are generally not combative.

Sounds like progress to me.

Maybe the Democrats can find a Kennedy to give them Uber rides around Provincetown, MA.

I have noticed that on the show and was surprised to see soooo many illegals in South Carolina. A lot of the illegals they stop claim to only speak Portuguese. Brazilians? Wherever they are from they ALL need to be sent back home.

Exactly my thoughts. Careful what you support it might kill you.

Enter illegally. Somehow get a car. No license. No insurance. Can’t read traffic signs. Just get high and drive. Get in an accident?...If driver hurt, just sue the one insured. If driver needs care, it’s on the taxpayer’s pocket. Where does it stop? When is the taxpayer BROKE??...
