Illegal Immigrant Kills Pennsylvania State Trooper. Guess Who Let Him Into the Country.

A truck driver with no legal right to be in the country, let alone behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler, killed Pennsylvania State Trooper Michael E. Pahira Jr. Wednesday morning while he was doing his job.
Pahira, 44, had served with the Pennsylvania State Police since 2007, most recently as a motor carrier enforcement inspector. He was inspecting a semi-truck on Interstate 81 in Schuylkill County when another truck ran off the road, slammed into his patrol car and the vehicle he was checking, then struck him directly. Both trucks erupted in flames. Pahira died at a local hospital a short time later.
The man charged in his death is 33-year-old Michael Bon, a Haitian national living in Brockton, Mass. He faces homicide by vehicle, involuntary manslaughter, reckless driving, and six additional charges. Schuylkill County Prison is holding him on $700,000 bail, DHS has lodged an immigration detainer against him, and his next court date is July 15.
Bon should not have been in this country. He flew into the United States through Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in July 2024, courtesy of Joe Biden's “humanitarian” parole program. The Department of Homeland Security later denied his bid for Temporary Protected Status. By June 2025, DHS had pulled his parole and told him to get out. He didn't go. Instead, he kept driving trucks on American highways.
