Six children have been left without parents after their mother and father were killed in a car crash in an apparent attempt to flee Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, who pulled them over after mistaking the father for an arrest target.

Police in Delano, a city in Kern County, California, said 35-year-old Santo Hilario Garcia and 33-year-old Marcelina Garcia Profecto were both pronounced dead at the scene after officers arrived to find their SUV overturned after smashing into a power pole just before 7 a.m. on Tuesday.

The United Farm Workers (UFW) labor union said the couple were farm workers, who were on their way to look for work to "provide for their six children."


Yahoo

I was listening to Lou Pate on the news earlier. He called it that somehow the media would spin this and make it to where ICE is at fault here.

Why would you attempt to flee when being pulled over? They died due to their own stupidity and put others lives in danger by doing so.

It blows my mind that people actually think running from the police is going to have a good outcome.

Just like black people that try to fight cops or go for a gun when pulled over....it's always the cops fault if the suspect gets shot. I know not to run from or fight cops. Therefore, i've never been killed by one. It's common sense. And if i grow up in a culture where i am sterotyped, then i work to keep my head down and stay out of situations that could be suspect. But it's always the cops/ice fault, it's racism

Maybe.

That area has lots of orchard work if my memory is correct.

Very possible these were just migrant/illegals who work and live under the radar and receive no benefits.

Then again, it is California. They could be receiving thousands a month in benefits and voting in elections.

If you go to a free clinic in California...it's just a room full of 15 year old Mexican girls with babies on their arms.

Part of the plan of Reconquista by La Raza was to simply outproduce the population.

Plus, Catholic - no contraception.

I hate the argument that there are jobs that Americans simply won't do and that the ONLY solution is illegal immigration.

Yes. We have drones, self-driving cars, and sex robots, but what we really can't figure out is how to pick crops and nanny children without hiring illegal workers.
