The mother of a WNBA player lost her life in a head-on collision with an illegal alien from Guatemala. ICE had several detainer requests on Rolando Ico-Choc, all of which were ignored because of the states sanctuary laws.

Here’s more from MY Stateliness:

Illinois’ sanctuary policies came under fire Tuesday after a tragic head-on collision claimed the lives of both the mother of a former WNBA player and an undocumented migrant with prior DUIs.

According to the Stephenson County Sheriff’s Office, on Saturday, August 9th, Darcy Brunner, 61, the mother of former NCAA and WNBA player Sophie Brunner, was killed in a head-on collision with Rolando Ico-Choc, 30, a native of Guatemala.

Both drivers were pronounced dead at the scene.

At a press conference on Tuesday, Sen. Andrew Chesney (R-45th) said Ico-Choc was known to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for several prior DUI arrests, and had a detainer issued by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Stephenson County Sheriff Steven Stovall said toxicology tests were still pending, but said Ico-Choc’s Nissan Altima crossed the center line while driving southbound on Illinois Route 26, around 12:38 p.m. Saturday, striking Brunner’s Ford Edge head-on.

“This wouldn’t have happened in Indiana or Iowa,” Chesney said. “In those states, repeat criminal offenders who are in this country illegally aren’t released back into the public. Violent criminals with no regard for our safety or our lives are removed before they can kill. However, Illinois’ TRUST Act and Governor Pritzker’s sanctuary state policies have created a revolving door for dangerous criminals.”

This is exactly why these disastrous anti-ICE policies must go and these states and politicians need to be held accountable for the lives lost by these policies.
