A woman who was in the U.S. illegally admitted to causing a head-on, wrong-way, crash that claimed the life of a young Missouri boy.

The fatal crash happened on Dec. 20, 2023, when 33-year-old Endrina Bracho barreled down the highway the wrong way, going 75 miles per hour at the time of the crash, 35 miles above the posted speed limit, according to the Hazelwood Police Department.

“1,700 feet is quite a big distance to travel at over 70 miles an hour on a 40-mile posted road. That’s a long way to travel in the wrong direction and not realize it,” Sgt. Scott Schnurbusch from the Hazelwood Police Department previously told FOX 2.

Authorities confirmed that Bracho was a Venezuelan migrant without a driver’s license, when she slammed into the family’s car head-on.

“JUSTICE – the illegal who killed Travis Wolfe in Missouri has pled guilty. She should never have been in Missouri in the first place, and never would have been, had Joe Biden not opened our borders,” Hawley wrote in a statement on X. 

In January, Hawley introduced “Travis’s Law” to honor Travis Wolfe’s legacy and prevent other criminal illegal aliens from roaming free. 

“Under President Biden’s open border, Missouri’s 12-year-old Travis Wolfe was killed by an illegal alien, who was then released from jail. There’s no legislation less controversial than protecting American citizens from dangerous illegal aliens—and preventing another death like Travis’s,” Hawley wrote. “My amendment, Travis’s Law, would guarantee the detention of criminal illegals who commit a motor vehicle crime or victimize a minor.”

“Travis’s Law” is an amendment to the Laken Riley Act, legislation which would ensure that ICE detains illegal aliens who commit burglary, theft, larceny, or shoplifting.
