Illegal immigrant allegedly driving drunk at extreme speed killed woman in violent crash: DHS

An illegal immigrant is accused of killing a 27-year-old Colorado woman in a high-speed, drunk-driving crash, a case fueling outrage over the state’s sanctuary-style policies and drawing sharp criticism from prosecutors and elected officials.

Parra-Corral was initially arrested on charges including driving without a valid license, underage possession of alcohol and vehicular assault. After the victim’s death, prosecutors added a vehicular homicide charge.

The Department of Homeland Security confirmed to Fox News Digital that Parra-Corral was in the United States illegally and had been deported.

“On November 9, Eduardo Parra-Corral, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, was arrested by local police after he was allegedly driving under the influence at a speed of more than 100 miles per hour when he ran a red light,” DHS shared in a statement with Fox News Digital.

“He hit and killed a 27-year-old woman. ICE took him into custody on November 10. He was deported on November 25 and no longer poses a threat to Americans,” McLaughlin said.

Parra-Corral’s passenger, 20-year-old Omar Perea-Burciaga, was also taken into custody for allegedly providing false identifying information and on a prior hit-and-run warrant.

The Weld County Coroner’s Office has identified the victim as 27-year-old Jasmine Faith Carpio of Windsor, according to KUSA.

Jasmine Faith Carpio, 27, was killed when an illegal immigrant driving over 100 mph slammed into her vehicle, according to police. Loved ones remembered her as warm, caring and devoted to her family.

Loved ones remembered Carpio as a warm, loyal and deeply caring young woman who “made people feel like family,” according to an obituary. She cherished time with her husband, Ray “RJ” Guerrero, and was known for her sense of humor, her generosity and the way she supported friends and family.

“I only have one child,” her mother said. “She was an amazing person who never hurt anyone and always wanted to help others.”

Douglas County District Attorney and longtime Denver-area prosecutor George Brauchler said the case underscores the public-safety risks of Colorado’s hands-off approach to immigration enforcement.

Brauchler said cases like this raise urgent questions.

“I’d like to know when they got into the country or when they snuck into the country,” he said. “I’d like to know what other run-ins with law enforcement they’ve had and if they had contact, why weren’t they deported before?”

He argued that Colorado’s sanctuary-style laws have made the state more attractive to people in the country illegally.

Since 2019, Colorado has enacted laws limiting cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities, restrictions Brauchler says undermine public safety.

“The result has been more criminals who should have been deported being put back on our streets,” he said. “It is a system created on purpose by those in charge of the state of Colorado, and this is the kind of chaos that ensues.”

The case has also drawn reaction from state Republicans.

“Colorado’s sanctuary policies welcomed this criminal alien into our state,” Boebert wrote on X. “Democrats are responsible for the death of a 27-year-old woman by allowing her killer illegally into our country.”

The Colorado GOP also weighed in, warning: “How many more innocent lives must be lost? Will your family be affected next?”

Greeley police said the investigation remains ongoing, and all suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
