BROWNSTOWN, Ind. (WOWO) — An undocumented immigrant is being deported under the Laken Riley Act that President Donald Trump recently signed into law.
The law deports immigrants charged with certain types of crime.
When Domingo Juan Juan came to the Jackson County Judicial Center on Feb. 12 for his bench trial The prosecutor, recognizing who he was, alerted ICE agents who were there to arrest him.
At a news conference Monday, Rep. Erin Houchin (R-IN-9th) said, “He’s a problem for Guatemala now.”
Juan Juan caused a head-on collision while driving on US 50 near Brownstown back in March, which ended up killing Brad Castner.

It is unconscionable for any elected or appointed public official to hide or protect invaders. We do have legal immigration but these people seem to think they are not to abide by our laws.
I agree, seems that our OWN law enforcement was essentially granting diplomatic asylum to Mr. Juan. It’s a sad state of affairs, that appears to be subsiding.
However, these officers need to be reconsidered, next election..
The United States does have a legal immigration policy, that allows for the proper vetting of people in to this country. Sometimes, even i think it’s a little too liberal… but we have it.
And yet, as loose as our system is, we STILL have criminals entering this country and get away with.. well, Murder.
Juan, was an illegal immigrant.
Juan, had no operators license.
Juan, had never taken a US drivers examination.
Now, since Juan’s broken the law, multiple times, and because of this… someone is dead. He recklessly took Brad away from his family.
Now, he’ll be returned… and will likely suffer only a guilty conscience, if even that.
I am thankful Laken Riley Act has gained so much momentum, along with the Cornyn & Ernst Amendments attached.

What happened last year, with Domingo Juan Juan, was absolutely appalling. Here we had a criminally undocumented foreigner, driving without a license, that caused the death of, 27 year-old, Brad Castner.
To top it off, we then had Law Enforcement basically concealed this event, from the public; by not filing any charges or releasing any information about the illegal immigrant that took the life of this young Indiana man.
Fortunately, action WAS taken. Now Indiana has Brad’s Law, as well as this new Law, the Laken Riley Act w/ Amendments.

I hope the United States of America is finally beginning to root out the lawlessness, that some have been trying to nurture.
