Jackson County immigrant being deported after fatal crash

A Guatemalan man is being deported from Jackson County under the new Laken Riley Law.

According to WISH-TV, the illegal immigrant Domingo Juan Juan was driving without a license, crossed the centerline on U.S. 50 and crashed into a vehicle being driven by 27-year-old Brad Castner im March of last year. Castner was killed.

Congresswoman Erin Houchin and Jackson County Prosecutor Jeff Chalfant held a press conference yesterday, announcing the deportation. Houchin praised Prosecutor Chalfant and ICE for their work in securing Juan and ensuring his deportation proceedings moved forward swiftly.

She also laid the blame on the Biden Administration, saying Castner’s death was preventable and was due to Biden’s open border policies.

Houchin said “Thanks to the Laken Riley Act, dangerous illegal aliens are finally being detained and deported before they can commit more crimes.”
