The new Federal Federal Prosecutor of the Trump administration in Los Angeles said that his office intended to prosecute immigration charges against a man awaiting release from the state prison after serving a sentence for a 2021 accident on highway 405 who killed a young couple.
Bill Essayli, sworn in as an American lawyer for the California central district earlier this month, focused attention on the case in the middle of the information according to which the driver, who pleaded guilty to two manslaughter in raw vehicle in intoxication, could be released after serving about three years with a sentence of 10 years.
“If the state of California does not seek full measure of justice against this person, (the Ministry of Justice) will do so,” said Essayli in an article on X.
Essayli noted that the ongoing accusations – initially deposited by his predecessor under the Biden administration – could land Oscar Eduardo Ortega -Enguiano in the federal prison up to 20 years if he is found guilty of illegally reintegrating the country after being expelled twice before.
Ortega-Engeiano, now 43 years old, was under the influence of drugs and alcohol and doing nearly 95 mph in November 2021 when, according to the judicial archives, his Volkswagen broke the 19-year-old children Anya Varfolomeev and Nikolay Osokin, who were both killed when their Honda broke into flames.
Fox News said he had examined an opinion on Ortega-Enguiano sent by the state to the father of Varfolomeev, who said he could be released to Garden Grove.
The files of the state prison show that Ortega-Enguiano is eligible for parole in July and is currently hosted in California Medical Facility in Vacaville.
A spokesperson for California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said that Ortega-Enguiano “received 334 days of preparing for the time purged locally while waiting for the conviction and is eligible for credit opportunities while being imprisoned.”
State prisoners often end up serving less time due to credit for rehabilitation and good conduct programs, but the suggestion that Ortega-Enguiano could walk for free Trump administration officials.
Atty. General Pam Bondi posted on X: “It is absolutely inadmissible. What about justice for these adolescents? What about their parents’ rights? ”
The Tom Homan border tsar has promised to send federal immigration and customs agents to enforce an agreement known as the prisoner, under which local officials hold individuals confronted with expulsion.
“I will work with the secretary (Homeland Security) Noem in this case, and I guarantee you, if they do not honor the inmate, we will have ice agents outside this establishment to take custody of this individual and expel him,” said Homan on Fox “American editorial hall.“”
Governor Governor Governor Newsom’s press office subsequently published a promising declaration to honor the detainee in Ortega -Enguiano, saying that state prison officials “will coordinate with ice – as they have with 10,000 prisoners – to transfer it before the release”.
A spokesperson for ICE said that a detainee was placed on June 9, 2022, while Ortega-Enguiano was hosted in North Kern State prison. According to Ice, his previous criminal convictions include burglary in 2005; Flight of vehicles in 2007; and battery on spouse with kidnapping in 2014.
“This tragedy was completely preventable. This criminal foreigner should never have been in our country,” said Tricia McLaughlin, assistant public affairs secretary in the Department of Homeland Security, in a statement. “We hope that the Californian law enforcement will work on us so that this criminal foreigner is not released in the American communities.”
Judicial files show that a federal accusation for Ortega-Enguiano on the immigration accusation was not detained as planned on March 10 because it was not transferred as requested from the State Prison. He has not yet pleaded in the federal affair.
The declaration of the Newsom office underlined that a republican district prosecutor was in charge in the County of Orange when Ortega-Enguiano concluded the advocacy agreement which led to his current prison sentence. A more severe sentence under the second -degree accusations could have been requested, said Newsom’s declaration.
The County of Orange DA TODD SPITZER ATTE with his own declaration, who declared that Ortega-ENGUIANO “pleaded in court and was sentenced by a judge under the Californian law, on the objection of the prosecutors of the County of Orange, who pleaded without success for the maximum penalty.”
