VICTIMS OF ILLEGAL ALIENS
MEMORIAL
In honor of Americans killed by illegal aliens.
Deaths that could have been prevented if Congress and the President would have secured our border and enforced existing U.S. immigration laws.
List of Victims
Ret. Lt. Colonel Paul J. Krause, 54
Husband, Father, & Friend
Allegedly killed by
Carlos Sanchez-Ramos, 33
Carlos Sanchez-Ramos, 33, an ilegal alien from Honduras has been arrested and charged with a number of crimes as a result of a fatal accident he allegedly caused in Fairfax County, VA.
Police allege that Sanchez-Ramos was driving drunk and ran into Krause's vehicle, which pushed Krause's car into oncoming traffic--which resulted in his death.
Sanchez-Ramos reportedly was deported once before and returned to the U.S..--and was arrested and convicted of driving drunk in 2007 but law enforcement and prosecutors never called Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to check his immigration status. Prosecutors also reduced charges so Sanchez-Ramos avoided jail time in that case according to a news report. The implementation of the "Secure Communities" program in Fairfax County resulted in Sanchez-Ramos fingerprints being checked by ICE.
Krause is survived by his wife and three daughters.

OJJPAC Note: A number of illegal alien support groups oppose the Secure Communities program--because it works! Sympathies to the Kraus family that must deal with the devastation for a lifetime ( like so many other American families as a result of lax immigration law enforcement and prosecution).
William Alan Sweezer, 53
Husband, Father, Friend, & Volunteer
Allegedly killed by
Delvin Joel Marin-Contreras, 29
Delvin Joel Marin-Contreras, 29, a suspected illegal alien reportedly living in Charlotte, was arrested by Mecklenburg police in the vehicular accident death of William Alan Sweezer, 53, of Fort Mill, S.C..
Police allege that Marin-Contreras struck Sweezer, and others, including two police officers on I-277 while police were responding to another accident along the roadway.
It was reported that Marin-Contreras had been charged previously in 2008 and 2010 with driving without a license.
Sweezer, treasurer of S.C. Swimming, was driving with his wife and two teenage sons to a swim meet in Mecklenburg.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement is currently reviewing Marin-Contreras' immigration status.

Joshua Keith, 22

Allegedly killed by
Brayan Rivera, 23
Brayan Rivera, 22, a suspected illegal alien is being sought by police in the vehicular manslaughter death of Joshua Keith of Norcross, GA. Police allege that Rivera was driving drunk and struck Keith's vehicle, injuring Keith's girlfriend and causing injuries to Keith that ultimately became fatal.
Rivera was injured in the crash too, and was taken to the Gwinnett Medical Center. However, Rivera left the hospital since he was not guarded or secured by local law enforcement.
OJJPAC note: This is not the first time an alleged illegal alien suspect has simply walked out of a hospital after allegedly killing someone.
