EXCLUSIVE: ICE Hunts Down Illegal Trucker Accused Of Killing Newlyweds — Sanctuary City Let Him Go

Sanctuary authorities in Oregon cut an illegal immigrant truck driver loose after he allegedly killed a newlywed couple in a tragic collision, leading federal officers to track him down, The Daily Wire has learned.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged a detainer with local authorities after Indian national Rajinder Kumar jackknifed his semi-truck and trailer in November. Kumar’s disabled big rig blocked both lanes of a major highway in Deschutes County, Oregon, allegedly causing the deaths of William Micah Carter and his wife, Jennifer Lynn Lower, after their vehicle “struck the trailer at highway speeds,” according to local reports.

The couple had only been married for 16 days at the time of the fatal collision, Jennifer’s father, Tom Lower, told The Bulletin.

Despite facing local charges, along with having an ICE detainer, Kumar was released from a local jail on April 2, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). ICE was left to hunt him down in the streets, nabbing him on April 22.

It appears Kumar was released after posting $25,000, a portion of his $250,000 bond, before federal authorities caught up to him, according to Lookout Eugene-Springfield.
