ICE captures illegal immigrant wanted for allegedly killing mother in DUI crash
Immigration and Customs Enforcement captured an Ecuadorian illegal immigrant who is facing vehicular homicide charges in Minnesota on Friday. The August crash, in which German Adriano Llangari Inga allegedly had a blood alcohol content 'twice the legal limit,' killed mother Victoria Eileen Harwell, and hurt her teenage daughter and sister, according to DHS and local media outlets. 'Despite a lack of cooperation from local Minnesota authorities, ICE arrested criminal illegal alien German Llangari Inga. This criminal illegal alien has been evading prosecution for vehicular homicide that resulted in the death of Minnesota mom, Victoria Eileen Harwell,' Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement on Tuesday. He was arrested by Hennepin County Sheriff's Office on May 10 'on an outstanding warrant,' but then released on May 13 without notifying ICE despite the detainer request placed by the agency on that day, according to the Department of Homeland Security. There was another detainer placed by ICE in August when the crash occurred, but Hennepin County Sheriff's Office told Fox News Digital that because of the state Attorney General's guidance, they 'cannot lawfully hold individuals in custody based solely on an administrative detainer issued by the Department of Homeland Security or Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).' 6 German Adriano Llangari Inga was arrested by ICE agents on May 10, 2025. Homeland Security 6 Victoria Eileen Harwell was killed in a car crash in Hennepin County on Aug. 3, 2024. Homeland Security 'If a judicially-signed warrant is presented to HCSO, ICE will be notified when it becomes the holding agency. In the absence of such a warrant, individuals must be released once all criminal charges or holds have been resolved. HCSO is committed to working with federal and local partners and honoring the constitutional rights of all individuals,' HCSO's statement at the time added. In August, he was in county jail for two days. 6 Inga was arrested by Hennepin County Sheriff's Office on May 10 'on an outstanding warrant,' but then released on May 13 without notifying ICE. KARE 11/YouTube 6 Earlier this month, the Trump White House took aim at Minnesota leaders because the man suspected in killing Harwell was still at large. KARE 11/YouTube 'Despite Hennepin County refusing to honor this criminal illegal alien's detainer TWICE, ICE officers tracked him down and removed this criminal from Minnesota's streets. Tim Walz should be thanking ICE not using despicable rhetoric. Remember sanctuary politicians are fighting for criminal illegal aliens. President Trump and Secretary Noem are fighting for the victims of illegal alien crime, like Eileen Harwell,' McLaughlin continued. Earlier this month, the Trump White House took aim at Minnesota leaders because the man was still at large. According to ICE, he first came to the United States in June 2016 and 'was detained by US Customs and Border Protection, issued an order of expedited removal and placed into removal proceedings.' 6 Victoria Eileen Harwell was driving in her white SUV along with her teen daughter and sister. KARE 11/YouTube 6 Inga, driving the darker colored SUV, allegedly had a blood alcohol content 'twice the legal limit.' KARE 11/YouTube 'An illegal immigrant drove drunk, killed an innocent mother, and is now on the run because Democrats didn't do their most important job: protect their constituents,' Alex Pfeiffer, White House Principal Deputy Communications Director, told Fox News Digital in an exclusive statement at the time. Fox News Digital reached out to Hennepin County Sheriff's Office on Tuesday.

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. READ MORE: White House blasts Hennepin County, Democrats over immigrant drunk driving case Timeline German Adriano Llangari Inga, an Ecuadorian national, was initially arrested after the deadly Minneapolis crash in August 2024. 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."
