Via See Dubya comes a lengthy article regarding a case I first told you about here, in which an illegal alien drunk driver crushed a woman’s legs:

For 10 days in March, Lucio Rodriguez sat in a Santa Clara County jail cell on a misdemeanor count of driving drunk.

Rodriguez, who authorities say has been living in the United States illegally, told jail officials he wasn’t a citizen – a red flag for immigration agents – but they never met with him to begin the deportation process, and he was released.

Six months later, on Sept. 9, the 27-year-old was arrested in Los Gatos, on suspicion of driving drunk, again – but this time, authorities say, it was after he slammed into mother Sara Cole outside her vehicle, crushing her legs and nearly killing her.

The article details how sanctuary policies, and the lack of ICE personnel in local jails, combine to allow aliens to slip through the cracks of the system and create havoc.

Read it all.
