The number of Americans who would be alive if we enforced our immigration laws is not short.
Laken Riley. Jocelyn Nungaray. Rachel Morin.
We can add Hallie Helgeson and Brady Heiling to that list, too. They were killed in Dane County by an illegal immigrant who was driving drunk.
Hallie, 18, died at the scene. Brady -- who was driving the car -- died five days later. He was 19.
They would be alive if the Biden administration had deported Noelia Saray Martinez-Avila, the 30-year-old Honduran, who had multiple traffic violations.

Here's more from the New York Post:
Due to her rap sheet, Martinez-Avila was supposed to have a device in her car that blocks the engine from starting if the driver has alcohol in their system, according to the local news outlet. However, she didn’t have the device installed at the time of the fatal crash.
DHS also raged over sanctuary policies in Dane County, where Madison is located.
“Unfortunately, this sanctuary jurisdiction has a history of not honoring ICE arrest detainers often leading to the release of murderers and other heinous criminals,” McLaughlin said.
Cops found multiple open beer cans in the Chevy Suburban, which reeked of booze, according to the State Journal. Martinez-Avila also had glassy eyes and couldn’t complete a sobriety test.

Dane County is as blue as they come.
They don't care about Hallie or Brady.
It’s all so tiresome

But 100% preventable.
Deport every illegal.

Every single one.
We should start charging these Democrats as an accessory to murder.

They'd change their tune if we did.
There is no policy that would protect her if that were my kid.

Deportation would be the only way.
This is why the policies are implemented, so brоwn “реoрӏе” can do this.

It would be racist to enforce the law. Or something.

Yep.

Coming from the guy who falsely blamed a drunk driver for killing his family, that's rich.
Don’t let these two kids death go for naught. We need to learn all the facts about how the woman was allowed to remain in Wisconsin and continually cycle through the court system the past five years with no accountability. Critical discussion for this State to have right now. https://t.co/0oP5aDUBiJ

It's especially critical because Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers is not running for reelection in 2026, and every Democrat vying to replace him supports these sanctuary policies.
Editor’s Note: Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border, just a new president.
