Karoline Leavitt: President Trump will not tolerate illegal immigrant crime
The Trump administration says it is taking steps to prevent the early release of an undocumented immigrant convicted of killing two American teenagers in a 2021 DUI crash.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized the administration's stance during an appearance on "America Reports" Wednesday, calling the case a stark example of what she described as a broken immigration system.
"President Trump is not going to tolerate illegal immigrant crime," Leavitt said. "This individual case represents everything that is wrong with our immigration system."
Oscar Eduardo Ortega-Anguiano, who was in the U.S. illegally, was convicted in 2022 of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated after he crashed into a vehicle carrying 19-year-olds Anya Varfolomeev and Nicholay Osokin. Both teens were killed in the fiery collision. Ortega-Anguiano was sentenced to 10 years in prison but is now expected to be released early, prompting backlash from the victims' families and immigration authorities.
Leavitt said the administration is working to ensure he remains behind bars.
