  Just like here,Family of DUI homicide victim: Feds failed to deport illegal-immigrant killer Family members of a Chicago man killed in 2011 by a drunk driver are steaming mad at city officials for failing to bring the driver’s illegal immigration status to the attention of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) when they first learned about it, four years ago. A 2008 police report shows local authorities learned Saul Chavez was an illegal immigrant following an unrelated arrest that year, but did nothing about it. On June 8, 2011, Chavez was driving drunk in the Logan Square Neighborhood of Chicago when his car hit and killed long-time insurance agent Denny McCann, 66. Chavez’s blood-alcohol content was 0.29 percent, more than three times the legal limit. Witnesses said that on impact McCann cracked the windshield of Chavez’s 2002 Dodge Neon and then tumbled forward. But the driver tried to flee, running him over and dragging him 200 feet with the car. McCann died that night. Chavez was already a convicted drunk driver when he ran down McCann, and a police report obtained by the Daily Caller shows that he told police during a Sept. 20, 2008 DUI arrest that he was in the United States illegally. The report also reveals that when Chicago Police asked Chavez for his license and vehicle registration that night, Chavez responded, “I live in Chicago on Kedzie [Street]. I don’t have a driver’s license because I don’t have papers.” Read more: http://dailycaller.com/2012/02/17/family-of-dui-homicide-victim-feds-failed-to-deport-illegal-immigrant-killer/#ixzz1n3gT7Jpo see arrest record.....http://dailycaller.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Saul-Chavez-arrest-report-2008.pdf......this is who activists say should not be reported to Immigration and should be released back into community, despite numerous arrests
