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

Minnesota State Senator Arrested In Sting On Same Day He Introduced 'TDS' Bill
Minnesota State Sen. Justin Eichorn is not having a good week. After the pro-Donald Trump Republican introduced a bill on Monday to add 'Trump derangement syndrome' ('TDS') to the state's statutory definition of mental illness, he was arrested for attempting to solicit sex from someone he thought was a teenage girl, police say. According to the Bloomington Police Department, the teen was actually a detective who had arranged to meet the 40-year-old Eichorn at a public location. The politician was arrested shortly after he showed up in a pickup truck. Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges mentioned Eichorn's age in a release about the arrest, but did not say he was a state senator. 'As a 40-year-old man, if you come to the Orange Jumpsuit District looking to have sex with someone's child, you can expect that we are going to lock you up,' he said. Eichorn had not been officially charged as of Tuesday afternoon, but the Bloomington Police Department said felony charges of soliciting a minor to practice prostitution are pending. Eichorn's office did not immediately respond to HuffPost's request for comment. Meanwhile, many of Eichorn's Republican colleagues are calling for his resignation, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports. Eichorn and other GOP politicians are seeking to add 'Trump derangement syndrome' — a MAGA-world insult — to a list of definitions related to mental health care in Minnesota, CBS News reported. According to the bill's wording, 'TDS' is described as 'the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal persons that is in reaction to the policies and presidencies of President Donald J. Trump.' CBS notes the bill is unlikely to get a committee hearing since Democrats hold a slim one-vote majority in the state Senate, where it was introduced. Rep.
