Fatal DUI suspect, in US illegally, released from Hennepin Co. Jail again
The Brief A man in the country illegally who was accused of a fatal DUI crash last year was released from Hennepin County Jail Tuesday night. The crash happened in the summer of 2024, but Hennepin County did not charge the man until about two weeks ago, nine months after the crash. The White House said the jail did not honor a request to keep him in custody last year. MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - A man, who federal authorities say is in the country illegally, and was charged in a fatal DUI crash that happened last summer, has been released from jail again after posting bond. Sources tell FOX 9 the man is not in ICE custody.

Inga was not initially charged for the crash and was released from jail. ICE officials say they issued a detention order for Inga, but Hennepin County Jail did not honor it. In a statement from the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office, FOX 9 was told, "The Hennepin County Sheriff's Office works with all federal, state, and local partners on criminal investigations and to enforce criminal statutes. An ICE hold is not a judicially signed warrant and courts have determined they are unconstitutional." Hennepin County prosecutors say they received Inga's toxicology report four months after the crash, which showed his blood alcohol levels were more than twice the legal limit. However, court documents show charges were not filed against him until May 2, nine months after the crash. He was then arrested on May 10. Dig deeper The reason for the delay in criminal charges is not clear, and a judge questioned prosecutors about the delay during a brief court appearance on Monday. The judge then set Inga's bond at $200,000 with no conditions and $100,000 with conditions. Prosecutors said they wanted him to be held accountable in Hennepin County and fear he could be arrested by federal authorities if he posts bond. Court records show he was released from jail Tuesday night and is not in ICE custody, according to sources speaking to FOX 9's Paul Blume. His next court appearance is set for the morning of June 11, 2025. What they're saying The White House released a statement on Monday criticizing Hennepin County authorities, saying, "An illegal immigrant drove drunk, killed an innocent mother and was on the run because Democrats didn't do their most important job: protect their constituents." The Hennepin County Attorney's Office stood by their process, saying, "Mr. Llangari Inga's case was handled the way all cases are handled when toxicology reports are necessary to complete an investigation and submit a case. After the incident occurred in August 2024, Minneapolis police waited until they had the results of the toxicology report to submit the case to us, as is appropriate and common." Policy Director for the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota argued that, "The jails are not allowed to hold somebody for ICE if the jail would not otherwise be holding that person. That is asking the local jurisdiction to do immigration enforcement's job for them, and the local jurisdiction – that is not the local jurisdiction's job."

Video/Pic: Illegal immigrant released after killing victim while drunk driving
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesperson recently confirmed that the suspect charged for a fatal head-on collision in Minneapolis last year has been identified as an illegal immigrant. The illegal immigrant has since been released despite federal officials placing a detainer on him. According to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, 35-year-old German Adriano Llangari Inga was charged on Friday for his involvement in two crashes on August 3, 2024, which led to the death of 31-year-old Victoria Eileen Harwell. In addition to the 31-year-old's death, the crash also resulted in Harwell's sister and 14-year-old daughter sustaining injuries. The outlet noted that Llangari Inga has been charged with criminal vehicular homicide and criminal vehicular operation. The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported that police officials said Llangari Inga rear-ended a car before fleeing the scene, crossing a double yellow line, and crashing into another car head-on. According to court documents obtained by Alpha News, police officers detected a 'strong odor of alcohol' in Llangari Inga's breath and observed that his eyes were 'glazed over and watery' at the time of the fatal collision. The suspect also 'did not have a valid driver's license or insurance,' according to court documents.

The spokesperson explained that while Llangari Inga was arrested after the fatal collision, he was released from jail days later despite Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials placing a detainer on the illegal immigrant. 'The Hennepin County Jail did not honor the detainer and released Llangari without notification to ICE Aug. 6, 2024, and he remains at large,' an Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesperson told Alpha News. 'Llangari initially entered the United States in June 2016, was detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, issued an order of expedited removal and placed into removal proceedings.' The Hennepin County Sheriff's Office, which operates the jail Inga was released from, told Alpha News that the sheriff's office cannot legally hold people in custody 'based solely on an administrative detainer issued by the Department of Homeland Security or Immigration and Customs Enforcement' due to guidance issued by Democratic Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison's office. A picture of Llangari Inga and a video of the remains from the August car crash have been shared on X, formerly Twitter. 🚨 WANTED – Hennepin County, MN: Illegal alien German Adriano Llangari Inga is charged for a 2024 DUI crash that killed Victoria Eileen Harwell and injured her sister and daughter. Despite a detainer, he was released last year and now has a warrant. — Illegal Alien Crimes (@ImmigrantCrimes) May 7, 2025
