Trump to deport unlicensed teen driver after fatal Aurora crash

An underage, unauthorized driver who caused a fatal accident in Aurora, Colorado by speeding is now in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The teenager, who was only 15 years old at the time of the crash, recently admitted guilt in the death of Kaitlyn Weaver, a young woman. Weaver's parents expressed their disappointment in the judicial system after the teen received a plea deal of probation and community service, instead of jail time, for the offense of vehicular homicide. The case drew widespread attention, with many expressing outrage at the leniency of the punishment. The district attorney's office faced criticism for the handling of the case, especially after ICE arrested the teenager and his family who are reported to be in the United States illegally from Colombia. The victim's father, John Weaver, acknowledges the complexities of immigration issues and believes that deportation is a more just consequence for the crime committed. He plans to advocate for changes in the criminal justice system while continuing to seek closure for his daughter's tragic death.
