Previously Deported Illegal Alien Crashes Car Into State Trooper
An illegal alien was arrested Saturday morning after authorities say he drunk drove his car down a Louisiana freeway and ultimately crashed into a Louisiana State Police vehicle.
The suspect in question, Melgar Cardona, had been previously deported from the United States and was considered a fugitive by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The crash occurred at 5:30 AM in the middle of an active work zone on I-210 Westbound after his 2005 Toyota veered into a state trooper’s car. . .
Cardona’s arrest comes just two days after Lousiana Attorney General Ken Paxton penned an op-ed in USA Today alongside two other state attorneys general declaring support for President Donald J. Trump’s national emergency declaration on illegal immigration.
“In declaring a state of emergency pursuant to the NEA, President Trump is using pre-existing statutory authority to address a legitimate crisis created by lawless conduct at and beyond our southern border. This emergency declaration is not a case of the president relieving himself of restrictions under the law. To the contrary, our president is protecting our country’s borders through means contemplated by Congress and used many times by past presidents for matters less directly threatening than those present on the southern border.” Paxton wrote.
