Fuerte-Padilla was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the hit-and-run crash.<\/p>\n<p>Police quickly caught and arrested Fuerte-Padilla, and DHS initially said it wanted him deported after Texas punished him for the death of the Texas teenager, but the Department has since changed its mind, The Washington Times <a href=\"https:\/\/m.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2022\/jan\/30\/dhs-cancels-deportation-request-hit-and-run-killer\/\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnder rules issued in September by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Fuerte-Padilla doesn\u2019t qualify as a priority anymore,\u201d the outlet reported. \u201cU.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement [ICE] also told Texas that it was canceling deportation requests \u2014 known as \u2018detainers\u2019 \u2014 on other illegal immigrants, including some who pleaded guilty to felony charges of evading arrest or had convictions for drunken driving, drug possession or domestic assault injuring a family member.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The rules were supposed to direct resources to focus on dangerous targets over those with minor criminal records, but it now appears the only people deemed dangerous enough to be deported are those who pose a national security risk, recently crossed the border illegally, or are a public safety risk. Though most would agree Fuerte-Padilla is a public safety risk, Mayorkas\u2019 rules require ICE and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents to weigh criminal convictions against other factors, including how long the illegal immigrant has been in the U.S., how long ago they were convicted of the crime, and whether the families of the illegal immigrant would suffer due to detention or deportation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fact an individual is a removable noncitizen therefore should not alone be the basis of an enforcement action against them,\u201d Mayorkas told ICE and CBP. \u201cWe will use our discretion and focus our enforcement resources in a more targeted way. Justice and our country\u2019s well-being require it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ICE reportedly told Texas that the previous detainers had been canceled as \u201cpriority lifts\u201d and were no longer important targets due to the new rules issued by Mayorkas.<\/p>\n<p>Jessica Vaughan, policy studies director at the Center for Immigration Studies, told the Times: \u201cHere we have a law enforcement agency handing ICE a criminal alien on a silver platter and ICE saying no thank you, and then the law enforcement agency saying really? And ICE saying no, we really don\u2019t want to take this person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The outlet noted that the cases \u201cwere revealed in documents filed in federal court in Texas, where Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry are challenging Mr. Mayorkas\u2019 rules.\u201d Each state told the court they have many more examples of similarly canceled detainers that they plan to introduce as the case continues. The case is slated for trial in late February.<\/p>\n<p>Arizona, Montana, and Ohio are also challenging Mayorkas\u2019 rules in a separate case. A hearing for that case is scheduled for the middle of February and will be heard by a federal judge in Ohio.<\/p>\n<p>Vaughn told the Times that \u201cWhat could really sink the administration\u2019s case on this is the fact that they have gone so far in slashing deportations that they\u2019ve crossed whatever gray line there might have been between their need to exercise discretion because of resource limits, and willfully not enforcing the law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/leaked-audio-bidens-dhs-secretary-admits-border-is-worse-now-than-in-at-least-20-years-if-not-ever\">reported<\/a>, leaked audio shows Mayorkas admitting that the border crisis is \u201cworse now\u201d than it has been \u201cin at least 20 years, if not ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
