Entire Family to Be Deported After Teenager Kills Woman in Car Crash
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff for policy, has said the Trump administration will deport the family of a 16-year-old convicted of killing a woman in a car crash. Newsweek has contacted Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for comment via email outside office hours. The Context The 16-year-old, an undocumented immigrant from Colombia, was previously sentenced to probation and community service in connection with the July 2024 death of 24-year-old Kaitlyn Weaver in Aurora, Colorado. The sentencing followed a plea agreement reached with prosecutors. President Donald Trump, who campaigned on mass deportations, returned to office in January and has since made sweeping policy changes. His administration has overseen increased immigration enforcement actions, with officials setting a goal of "a minimum of 3,000 arrests for ICE every day" as part of the president's flagship mass removal policy.
