ICE Nabs Illegal Immigrant Teen Who Received No Jail Time After Killing Colorado Woman

A 16-year-old illegal immigrant from Colombia who received probation and community service after killing 24-year-old Kaitlyn Weaver in a high-speed crash in Aurora, Colorado, was nabbed by federal immigration agents last week.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed on Thursday that the illegal immigrant teen was arrested “along with his family who are also illegal aliens.” Last July, the Colombian teenager plowed into Weaver’s vehicle while driving around 90 mph in a residential area, according to authorities. Weaver, who was driving home from work and talking over speaker phone with her boyfriend at the time of the crash, was “effectively killed instantly,” her father, John Weaver, said.

ICE’s Denver field office blasted the Arapahoe District Attorney’s Office for letting the illegal immigrant off the hook.

“For the @DA18th justice is no jail time and probation for this criminal alien who killed a young woman while driving more than 90mph. For ICE, justice is arrest and removal,” ICE Denver wrote on X. “A 16-year-old citizen of Colombia, with a conviction for reckless driving resulting in death was arrested by ICE Denver officers last week and will remain in ICE custody pending an immigration hearing.”

Along with residing in the United States illegally, the teen was also illegally driving his mother’s uninsured vehicle, which his mother said he took without permission. The juvenile also had other minors in his vehicle when he crashed into Weaver.

John Weaver said that the district attorney’s office initially promised to pursue the maximum sentence for the teenager, which would have been two years in a correctional facility. Under new Democratic District Attorney Amy Padden, however, the illegal immigrant was offered two years of probation if he pleaded guilty. Arapahoe County Assistant District Attorney Ryan Brackley said the plea deal was handled by an experienced prosecutor and was not influenced by the new district attorney. The deal was upheld by a judge after hearing from the Weaver family, Brackley added.

Weaver worked at a drug rehab center in Aurora and was always looking for ways to care for other people, according to her father. Before taking the job at the drug rehab center, Weaver volunteered for a suicide hotline.

“She was really trying to make a difference in their lives every day,” her father said.
