An illegal migrant with a DUI rap sheet only to be released back into the community of a blue state is accused of causing a crash in Lakewood, New Jersey, killing a mother and her 11-year-old daughter.

The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office said 43-year-old Raul Luna-Perez of Mexico was arrested and charged with two counts of vehicular homicide and assault by auto in connection with a July 26 motor vehicle crash, and now has a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged against him.

In a news release, ICE said that this was not Luna-Perez’s first run-in with the law.

He was arrested twice on charges of DUI in March and April of this year, and in June 2023 he was arrested for simple domestic violence.

Luna-Perez entered the U.S. illegally on an unknown date, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

ICE blamed New Jersey Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy’s sanctuary policies for allowing Luna-Perez to be released into American communities.

“Governor Murphy and his sanctuary policies released this serial criminal into New Jersey communities,” Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said. “Now, this innocent family is shattered by their failed leadership. 

“President Trump and Secretary Noem will continue to do everything in their power to remove these criminal illegal aliens before they destroy more lives.”
