MIDLAND, TX- An illegal alien who had been deported numerous times has claimed his latest victim, this time a 10-year-old boy walking home from school, Breitbart News reported.
Rogelio Ortiz-Olivas, 50, a five-time loser in the deportation merry-go-round, is suspected of drunk driving and evading responsibility in the deadly hit-and-run crash that killed 10-year-old Alex “AJ” Wise, Jr.
Midland is located only four hours from the U.S.-Mexico border, which has seen an estimated 10 million or more illegal aliens cross since January 20, 2021.
According to Midland police, Ortiz-Olivas was operating a truck on February 8 when he struck the child, who was walking home from school. Ortiz-Olivas immediately fled the scene of the crash, leaving the child in critical condition in the roadway.
The boy was airlifted to a hospital in Lubbock, Texas, however, he sadly succumbed to his injuries the following day. Wise was a student at IDEA Travis, with his family describing him as “the sweetest, coolest, funniest little boy you ever would meet,” according to a GoFundMe page established to help with funeral expenses.
There was also a memorial fundraiser set for February 17 to offset funeral and medical expenses.
According to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials in a statement to CBS-7 News, Ortiz-Olivas was initially sent back to Mexico on a voluntary departure order after he illegally crossed the US-Mexico border.
However, he repeatedly returned illegally to the United States and has since been deported five times by ICE agents since the initial voluntary departure.
Ortiz-Olivas is being held on a $110,000 bond by the Midland Police Department, and an ICE detainer has been lodged against him. Since Texas is not a sanctuary state for illegal invaders, Ortiz-Olivas will be sent back to Mexico after serving whatever sentence he may receive.
