This is moral hazard. Hence. this administrations Priority Enforcement Program is creating a moral hazard and given license to illegal activities. Sarah Root is one of many victims in the past few weeks who died at the hands of undocumented immigrants. In Louisville. KY. Chelsea Hogue was put into a coma when Jose Aguilar. an undocumented person. hit her while driving under the influence of alcohol. ICE issued a detainer and did not take custody of Aguilar but released him a day later. again because he had "no prior significant misdemeanor or felony conviction." Then there is Esmid Pedraza. who had been transferred to ICE in August of 2013 after serving time for driving under the influence. However. he was let go on bond because of limited detention space. This is what ICE said at that particular time: Due to limited availability of detention space. ICE prioritizes the use of its immigration detention beds for convicted felons. known gang members. and other individuals whose conviction records indicate they pose a likely threat to public safety. This is ironic. given that the administration has failed to live up to the mandated detention bed limit that Congress sets every year. Just a little over 2 years after his drunk driving offense.
