CARSON CITY, NV- A tragic car crash in Nevada has taken a troubling turn, revealing unsettling details about the suspect involved.
On April 6, a collision claimed the life of Kurt Englehart, an adviser to Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev). The other driver involved, 18-year-old Elmer Rueda-Linares, was swiftly arrested.
Originally accused of felony hit-and-run, Rueda-Linares now faces charges of failing to stop at the accident scene.
However, the situation escalated when it was disclosed that Rueda-Linares is in the United States illegally, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Kurt Englehart, aged 38, was a respected and beloved figure within political circles. Born in Zanesville, Ohio, Englehart had dedicated much of his life to public service. He served as an adviser to Senator Cortez Masto since 2017, having previously worked on Barack Obama's 2012 presidential campaign.
Englehart's commitment to advocating for others and cultivating a more accessible democracy earned him widespread admiration.
“Regardless of his position, Kurt was purpose-driven in his dedication to advocate for others and cultivate a democracy that is accessible to everyone,” Kurt’s obituary states. “He worked tirelessly to improve the lives of those in rural Nevada and he was especially motivated in his support for Indigenous communities, cattlemen, miners, and underrepresented populations.
“All those he met can share stories of his kindness, sharp wit, and willingness to drop everything for someone in need. Kurt was respected and admired by colleagues and opponents alike for his integrity, intelligence, and humor. If you were fortunate enough to be loved by Kurt, then you know that he loved and championed you at your worst and at your best.”
Described as a "skilled political strategist," he was known for his integrity, intelligence, and sense of humor.
Colleagues and opponents alike respected and admired Englehart for his unwavering dedication to his work and his willingness to help others, regardless of the circumstances.
Rueda-Linares entered the country illegally near the Rio Grande City, Texas, Port of Entry in March 2021. Despite being arrested at the border, he was released into the U.S. in June 2021.
This revelation has reignited debates about the Biden Administration's immigration policies and enforcement, sparking discussions about border security and the challenges faced by authorities in addressing such issues.
Following Rueda-Linares's arrest, he was placed under an ICE immigration detainer.
This means that federal officers have requested local law enforcement to hold him for an additional 48 hours to decide whether to deport him. Rueda-Linares currently remains in custody at Washoe County Jail, with bail set at $100,000.

The vast majority of immigrants come to The United States to make a better life for themselves. Some are going to commit heinous acts like this guy did, and he will receive his fair dose of American justice. But immigrants must come in legally, they must go through the process of entering our country, however arduous and difficult it may be. And the one’s who don’t must be rounded up and sent back to where they came from, no exceptions. End of story!

Until more politicians are directly affected by the results of their stupidity (as in this case) they will continue to pander to money and pressure and not do what's right. Illegal aliens are NOT UNDOCUMENTED, they are ILLEGAL. Democracy is a process of LAW. You CAN'T haver democracy when you support ILLEGAL ACTIVITY, period.
