Illegal Immigrant Charged with Deaths of TX Firefighter, 2 Children: A previously deported illegal immigrant who killed a volunteer firefighter and his two children earlier this month in a car crash now faces both state and federal charges. Bob Price of Breitbart reports that Margarito Quintero was drunk and driving without a license when he slammed head-on into Nevada Volunteer Fire Department Captain Peter Hacking's vehicle, killing him and his two young children. He faces charges of criminally negligent homicide as well as a federal charge of illegally reentering the U.S. after being deported in 2008. Quintero's case is just one of many examples of criminal aliens reentering the U.S. after deportation due to such a porous southern border.
OH Man Accused of Killing 4 will Face Death Penalty: An Ohio man indicted on 46 charges in connection with a 2014 quintuple murder will face the death penalty. John Harper of Cleveland reports that 20-year-old James Sparks-Henderson is accused of shooting four people, ranging in ages of 17 to 60, to death at a Cleveland home in November 2014. One of the victims was pregnant, and her unborn child also died after being delivered following the shootings. Before the decision to seek the death penalty in the case came to light, there were initial reports that Sparks-Henderson would strike a plea deal. Prosecutors would not comment on whether that option is still being pursued.
Senate Blocks Sessions' Immigration Amendment: Senate Democrats held up a vote Thursday on an immigration amendment introduced by Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., intended to boost enforcement of immigration laws. Joel Gehrke of the Washington Examiner reports that Sessions pushed for an amendment to the Federal Aviation Administration authorization bill that would give airports two years to develop systems for implementing a biometric exit system in order to track people who overstay their visas. During a Senate hearing in January, the Department of Homeland Security admitted that they don't track individuals who overstay their visas. Even with Democratic leader-in-waiting New York Sen. Chuck Schumer's statement that the lack of such a system is a national security threat, the Senate failed to agree to include the measure.
