WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) today announced U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged a detainer for Juan Hernandez-Santos, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico who is accused of causing a wreck while driving an 18-wheeler that slammed into another vehicle, causing a six-car pile-up, including with a school bus on the morning of December 4, 2025, in Lacey, Washington. Local authorities did not honor the ICE detainer due to sanctuary policies, and he was subsequently released from custody.

The crash reportedly resulted in three individuals being hospitalized.

According to local reports, state authorities say Hernandez-Santos did not possess a commercial driver’s license, yet was operating a semi-truck when he caused the pile-up.

“This dangerous illegal alien has a criminal history including multiple DUIs, possessing a controlled substance, and two prior removals from the U.S. He was a walking public safety threat and illegally was driving a massive 18-wheeler when he caused a six-car pile-up involving a school bus on the highway in Washington,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “Thankfully, no children were in the bus. This story could have had a very different tragic ending. The sanctuary politicians in Washington failed once again to protect American citizens by refusing to honor our ICE arrest detainer.”

On February 24, 2005, United States Border Patrol (USBP) removed Hernandez-Santos to Mexico. He illegally re-entered—a felony—and was removed again from the U.S. June 7, 2006.

On an unknown date, and at an unknown place, he re-entered the United States for a third time.

His previous criminal history includes:

On May 24, 2008, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office arrested Hernandez-Santos for driving without a license.

He was arrested again just one month later, on June 7, 2008, in California for driving under the influence and a hit-and-run with property damage.

On November 2, 2018, he was charged with possession of a controlled substance.

On February 24, 2020, the Los Angeles Police Department arrested Hernandez for driving under the influence

In recent months, we’ve seen a disturbing pattern of criminal illegal aliens driving commercial vehicles on American roads, directly threatening public safety and resulting in senseless loss of life.

DHS law enforcement has arrested hundreds of illegal aliens driving commercial vehicles despite having no legal status in the U.S. In October, Secretary Kristi Noem announced that a successful 287(g) operation resulted in the arrest of 146 illegal alien truck drivers. ICE also arrested 91 illegal aliens driving 18-wheelers in Indiana in October.

In November, ICE arrested Akhror Bozorov, a criminal illegal alien from Uzbekistan wanted in his origin country for belonging to a terrorist organization, in Kansas. He was working as a commercial truck driver despite no legal status in the U.S.

In August, ICE lodged an arrest detainer for a criminal illegal alien—Harjinder Singh—following his arrest for three counts of vehicular homicide while driving a semi-truck in Florida.

DHS law enforcement is protecting American communities every day from another senseless tragedy like this taking place in another town, to another family. Victims of illegal alien crime may receive support from the Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement

Well good thing DHS dealt with this illegal immigrant. Now we only have to worry about


*checks notes*


The thousands more terrible American drivers causing fatal crashes every single day. That's....better? I don't ever say to myself "If I ever die in a crash, I hope its an American that kills me" but that's just me.


I bet focusing on bad drivers overall, especially in the trucking industry, would save way more lives than just worrying about illegal immigrant bad drivers, and with the added benefit of still dealing with illegal immigrant bad drivers. Focus on all bad truckers instead of some? Maybe that's a bad idea though. Maybe focusing on fewer criminals means less crime? Maybe up = down? Left = cheese?


What even is the point of press releases like this? DHS didn't seem to provide any, and neither did the OP. Is the point "See? this is why they are bad?" I suspect it is, but no one wants to actually say it because it's so laughably illogical and easily disprovable. Without an actual point to be made though, this is just a pointless release that doesn't deserve any paying attention to.


I wish the right would try a little harder.

And the Right wishes leftists would care more about the lives of American citizens than the "rights" (so called) of foreigners.

Our govt. exists for US, not THEM.

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

I see NO mention of foreign interlopers, illegal aliens, or H1Bs in the Preamble.

So, OP, how many of the near 40,000 accidents last year were caused by the type of person you are describing here?

Should take care of our own backyard before pointing fingers.

If we did, maybe, just maybe, it would improve the situation all around.

Don't dwell on that last sentence. Seems you have to much other stuff on your plate to handle a paradigm shift.

If you could prevent one of those 40,000 accidents (particularly the fatal ones) would you?

If banning conservatives from driving would save any lives at all (as surely at least some have caused accidents), would you?




Make better arguments.

Not polite to answer a question with a question.

And if you were polite, you would not have to ask since the answer would present itself to you.

*sigh* I hate it when maggies justify my statement about not doing the legwork.

[Yssup Rider]

That means he's arguing in his spare time.

Perhaps anytime a natural born "Murkin commits a crime, has an accident or causes someone else harm, we should punish all natural born "murkins.

Tracks with the logic, if not the bullshit headline, of bb's latest troll thread.

[bb1961]

Bullish headlines?? Disprove ANY of it you can't 63k+ post and you say trolling...what fucking nonsense.
It's funny how I see no mention of the habitual crimes this illegal has committed and released because of these sanctuaries policies that these brain dead liberal bastions supporting. This nonsense of incouraging these criminal law breakers is astonishing. Rewarding these habitual criminals by releasing them only continues this destructive behavior...if that can't be addressed then this FACTUAL information is lost on confirmation basis which is typical from the left. It's impossible to defend these actions but the left doesn't stop trying.

[pxmcc]

bareback1961, the problem you have here is your Washington D.C. Politburo has lost so much cred that nothing it says can be taken at face value. fed judges-including Republican appointees-now routinely scoff at DOJ assertions of fact, which is absolutely unheard of.

where was ice all this time after his 3rd illegal entry? asleep at the switch? and now it's looking for a scapegoat? the feds don't need a state's permission to track down and deport someone, least of all a repeat offender who clearly appears to be a danger to soceity. but they can find and deport law-abiding Moms who came over at age 6 and are in the process of trying to get a valid green card while being stymied by backlogs in the courts? all this proves is ICE is lazy and incompetent, maybe because ICE Barbie is busy doing her makeup, deporting law-abiding undocumented immigrants, and getting stuffed by a man who isn't her husband instead of doing her damn job.

If you can’t figure out why people disbelieve your hysterical rants, then that’s on you, my friend. Nobody seems to be focused on this outrage anywhere online … to the degree that you’re shrieking about it in this thread and heaping insult after insult who calls you out on it. This is America, still, I think. We are “incouraged” to disagree and debate. In fact, what’s left of the us constitution guarantees us the right to do so.

This unspeakable serial villain “terrorist” invader isn’t even evil enough to be a member of Trump’s cabinet. But he seems to scare the shit out of you because you’ve equated an auto fatality with terrorism, which is the new “I know you are but what am I?” for indoctrinated MAGAdoodles.

Not like he plowed into a protest march or anything.

Nobody is “incouraging” anybody to commit crimes. However, I encourage you to pay attention to the little squiggly red lines under half the words you post.

Yow!

As always you don't and can't DEBUNK the thread...just your insesint need to add to your 63k+ posts that are void of anything of substance.

Undocumented is leftwingers sanitize word for ILLEGALS...because admitting that would blow your BS narrative out of the water. If you brake the law there are consequences that you and all those on the left don't give a shit about. You and your fellow leftwingers can't DEBUNK this thread so you deflect to try and ignore this ILLEGAL act of this state coddling illegal criminals that are let out to terrorizing Americans. Spin it anyway you like this is pure leftwing idiotcy. Your confirmation basis is clearly evident.

How long have you been out of the banned box this time??...you don't end up there for working well with others....

There's nothing to debunk. Except for the conspiracy you seem to be trying to promote here.

Once can only react to the hysterical spin you put on these threads every day.

My advice to you... stay off the road!

Holy chit, brother! Give it a rest. You're gonna hurt yourself!

[txdot-guy]

Is anyone else tired of these anti-immigrant threads. I’m not sure who they are trying to convince but it doesn’t seem to be working.
