In August 2024, Minnesota mom Victoria Eileen Harwell was killed in a car accident after being struck by an intoxicated Ecuadoran national in north Minneapolis without a press conference or public statement from the mayor or governor.
ICE arrested the man, German Llangari Inga, in May 2024 after they say Hennepin County refused to honor a detainer and released him twice.
St. Paul native Hallie Helgeson, 18, was killed last year along with her 19-year-old boyfriend, Brady Heiling, while traveling in Wisconsin when they were struck head on by a drunk driver traveling the wrong way on the highway. The driver, according to DHS, was an intoxicated Honduran national in the country illegally.
"Hallie was an active member of Salem Lutheran Church, where she shared her faith and joy by teaching Vacation Bible School," Helgeson’s obituary says about her life. "Hallie’s faith played an important role in her life and every morning, she would exchange bible verses with boyfriend, Brady Heiling. She also worked as a teaching assistant at Hawk’s Nest and had recently begun a position at Meadow Creek Assisted Living.
"Hallie will be deeply missed by all who knew her, remembered for her warmth, kindness, big smile, and the light she brought into every space she entered. Her legacy will continue as a ‘Donor Hero’ by helping more than 75 people through her gift of life."
In 2021, 55-year-old America Mafalda Thayer was brutally murdered and beheaded by her boyfriend, a Cuban national named Alexis Saborit-Viltres, after telling him she wanted to end their relationship.
"She was always in an upbeat mood," Thayer’s friend and former co-worker Eileen Necklen told The Minnesota Star Tribune. "She was just a spitfire … an unbelievable person."

"While they claim to act out of compassion for migrants, sanctuary politicians like Tim Walz, Jacob Frey and Peggy Flanagan end up prioritizing the rights of illegal aliens over American citizens," Dale Wilcox, executive director and general counsel at Federation for American Immigration Reform told Fox News Digital.
"Thousands of innocent Americans have lost their lives because of criminal aliens, yet sanctuary politicians are heartless to the suffering of their families. America needs leaders who put the interests of Americans first."
