>DENVER -- Victims' family members, police officers and several Republican
>lawmakers are wondering why an illegal immigrant who has had at least 16
>arrests in the past five years was never deported, and ultimately allowed
>to be behind the wheel of a vehicle involved in a recent deadly hit-and-
>run.
>
>Police said Francis Hernandez, 23, was driving without a license when he
>ran a red light last Thursday and triggered a chain reaction crash that
>killed 3-year-old Marten Kudlis; Patricia Guntharp, 49; and Debra
>Serecky, 51. Marten was sitting by the window inside an ice cream shop
>and best friends Guntharp and Serecky were driving to get frozen custard
>when Hernandez rammed into the friends' pickup truck forcing it into the
>Baskin Robbins, police said. All three died within minutes.
>
>Immigration officials said Monday it appears that Hernandez was born
>outside the country and has no proof he entered the country legally.
>Hernandez has listed California, Mexico and Guatemala as his places of
>birth in previous arrests.
>
>Carl Rusnok, a spokesman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said
>Hernandez came to the United States in 1991 from Guatemala. But his exact
>immigration status has been difficult to track since it appears he has
>used 11 aliases and has claimed to be a U.S. citizen, Rusnok said.
>
>According to court documents, Hernandez has an extensive criminal record
>with arrests for assault, theft, fraud, forgery and driving under
>restraint. His most recent arrest in July was on a charge of resisting a
>police officer, according to court documents.
>
>"It is the mayor's responsibility to enforce state laws as they apply to
>Denver," said Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Littleton. "Since Denver continues to
>remain a sanctuary city, in clear violation of state and federal law, the
>blood from this incident is on his hands. Francis Hernandez was in
>custody in Denver but was not one of the cases referred to ICE by Denver
>police. How many more innocent people must die before Denver gets serious
>about obeying the law?"
