A pair of Wisconsin teens who were killed in a wrong-way drunk driving crash caused by an illegal migrant “would be alive today” if she hadn’t been allowed into the US, President Trump’s Department of Homeland Security raged in an online post Monday.
Honduran national Noelia Saray Martinez-Avila, 30, was drunk and driving her SUV the wrong direction on a highway outside Madison, when she allegedly struck a vehicle and killed the two teens on July 20, according to police. Passenger Hallie Helgeson, 18, died at the scene, while 19-year-old Brady Heiling, who was behind the wheel, ultimately succumbed to his injuries five days later.
“Hallie Helgeson and Brady Heiling had their whole lives ahead of them—and they would still be alive today if it weren’t for Noelia Saray Martinez-Avila—a criminal illegal alien from Honduras,” DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. But it wasn’t Martinez-Avila’s first rodeo.
She was convicted of driving drunk in November 2020 and has several subsequent traffic violations for driving without a license, speeding, following too closely and inattentive driving, according to the Wisconsin State Journal.
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. --->READ MORE HERE
DHS says sanctuary jurisdiction protected illegal alien who had previous drunk driving conviction and is now accused of killing two teens in DUI crash
An illegal alien from Honduras faces deportation after allegedly driving while intoxicated and crashing, killing two teenagers in Dane County, Wisconsin.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has lodged a detainer against 30-year-old Noelia Saray Martinez-Avila, who was charged in the deaths of 18-year-old Hallie Helgeson and 19-year-old Brady Heiling.
"Hallie Helgeson and Brady Heiling had their whole lives ahead of them—and they would still be alive today if it weren’t for Noelia Saray Martinez-Avila—a criminal illegal alien from Honduras," Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said. "Martinez-Avila recklessly drove the wrong way on a highway while intoxicated and killed these two teens.
"ICE has lodged an arrest detainer to remove this public safety threat from the U.S.," she continued. "Unfortunately, this sanctuary jurisdiction has a history of not honoring ICE arrest detainers often leading to the release of murderers and other heinous criminals. Under Secretary Noem, these precious victims will not be forgotten, and we will fight for justice."
Martinez-Avila faces charges of homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle, homicide by the use of a vehicle, operating a vehicle while intoxicated and causing injury, knowingly operating a vehicle with a revoked license while causing death, knowingly operating a vehicle with a revoked license while causing bodily harm, failing to install an ignition interlock device and violating a court order, among other charges. --->READ MORE HERE
