Trump Administration Files Charges Against Early-Released Illegal Immigrant Convicted of Manslaughter
The Trump administration has taken legal action against an illegal immigrant, convicted of manslaughter in a drunk driving incident, who was set to be released early from a California prison.
In a move to uphold justice, the Trump administration has filed federal charges against Oscar Eduardo Ortega-Anguiano, an illegal immigrant convicted of killing two teenagers in a high-speed, drunk driving crash. Ortega-Anguiano, who was sentenced to 10 years for the deaths of Anya Varfolomeev and Nicholay Osokin in Orange County, California, was scheduled for an early release after serving only 3.5 years of his sentence. This decision by the California state government sparked outrage among the victims’ families and led to swift action from federal officials.
Border czar Tom Homan and Attorney General Pam Bondi have both expressed their commitment to ensuring Ortega-Anguiano faces the full extent of the law. Homan has promised to collaborate with Homeland Security Secretary Noem to prosecute and deport Ortega-Anguiano, emphasizing that if California does not honor the ICE detainer, federal agents will be ready to take custody of him upon release.
The case has highlighted tensions between state and federal policies on immigration and criminal justice. The victims’ families, devastated by the early release news, are advocating for Ortega-Anguiano to remain imprisoned. Anatoly Varfolomeev and Pavel Osokin, the fathers of the deceased teenagers, have voiced their frustration and hope that justice will be served, not only for their children but as a deterrent to similar future incidents.
This incident underscores the Trump administration’s firm stance on illegal immigration and criminal justice, promising to intervene when state decisions are seen as lenient or unjust.
