Today, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.)introduced“Travis’s Law”tohonorthe legacy of Missouri’s 12-year-old Travis Wolfe—who waskilledin a head-on collision by a criminal illegal alien—and prevent other criminal illegal aliens from roaming free.
Travis was killed by Endrina Bracho, an illegal alien who was driving in the wrong direction at more than double the posted speed limit. Bracho was charged with six criminal counts, including first-degree involuntary manslaughter and operating a vehicle on a highway without a valid license. But just last month, a judge released Bracho afterreducingher bond pending a future trial. She was then detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
“Under President Biden’s open border, Missouri’s 12-year-old Travis Wolfe was killed by an illegal alien, who was then released from jail. There’s no legislation less controversial than protecting American citizens from dangerous illegal aliens—and preventing another death like Travis’s,”said Senator Hawley.“My amendment,Travis’s Law, would guarantee the detention of criminal illegals who commit a motor vehicle crime or victimize a minor.”
Senator Hawley has introducedTravis’s Lawas an amendment to theLaken Riley Act, legislation which would ensure that ICE detains illegal aliens who commit burglary, theft, larceny, or shoplifting. Earlier this week, the Senate overwhelmingly advanced passage of theLaken Riley Act, which Senator Hawley has co-sponsored, by an 82-10 vote.
Travis would have turned 13 last month had he not been killed by an illegal immigrant who was driving without a valid driver’s license.
Laken Riley, a Georgia nursing student, would have turned 23 just this past Friday had she not been murdered by an illegal immigrant who was previously arrested twice.
