The Trump administration is currently involved in cases of illegal immigrants who are scheduled to be released from California prisons more than six years earlier.
Oscar Eduardo Ortega Anguiano was recently granted early release after being convicted in 2021 for murdering a California couple who crashed while driving drunk.
Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) has detained illegal immigrants and he will soon be transferred to ICE custody, the agency confirmed Wednesday.
In an emailed statement to NTD, sister media of the Epoch Times, California’s Office of Amendments (CDCR) confirmed Ortega Angiano was released early.
“The CDCR can confirm that 43-year-old Oscar E. Ortega Anguiano was received from Orange County on June 2, 2022,” the department said. “Consistent with a guilty plea from Orange County, he was sentenced to 10 years on manslaughter of a general vehicle while drunk.
CDCR also confirmed with NTD that in July 2025 it will be the earliest release date he can be.
“For safety and security reasons, the CDCR cannot provide further information regarding the date or location of a person who was incarcerated prior to release,” he added.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has vowed to work with Ice on the issue.
“This failed to plead with the court and discuss the biggest ruling on the objection of the Orange County prosecutor, a defendant who was pleaded with the court and was sentenced by a judge under California law,” Spitzer said in a statement.
Ortega Anguiano was speeding up while drunk on the California highway.
The teenage couple should be alive today, an Orange County Republican said in response to a statement from the governor.
According to the White House, if California is not complying with ice detainees, the DOJ is ready to prosecute the case in federal court.
Attorney General Pam Bondy called the fatal crash incident “absolutely merciless” and called for prompt justice for the victims’ families.
