Illegal Immigrant Charged in Tragic Death of Young Washington State Trooper

One senseless murder by an illegal immigrant is a tragedy. When one becomes 10 and 10 grows to 60, it’s an orchestrated slaughter.

In 2021, illegal immigrants were convicted of the homicide or manslaughter of 60 people, according to Fox News. It was an ungodly 1,900 percent increase from the previous year. Guess who was in charge of border security.

And over the past few years, the numbers have continued to grow, with one more senseless death of an American citizen at the hands of an illegal immigrant taking place on Saturday — this time it was a police officer.

An illegal immigrant crashed his car into a Washington State Patrol trooper killing the officer, according to KCPQ. Investigators allege Raul Benitez Santana crashed his car into Trooper Christopher Gadd, who was just 27 years old.

Probable cause documents indicate Benitez Santana admitted to drinking and smoking weed before driving. Benitez Santana is being held on a charge of vehicular homicide on a $1 million bond, according to KIRO.

The accused killer is a citizen of Mexico. Seattle Enforcement and Removal Operations had an immigration detainer for Benitez Santana on file with the Snohomish County Jail, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

An immigration detainer is placed on an illegal immigrant arrested for criminal activity by local police. It is a request for local law enforcement to inform ICE before an illegal immigrant is released from custody. ICE then determines if the illegal immigrant can be deported.

Is rampant illegal immigration putting Americans at risk?

Benitez Sanatna is no stranger to Washington law enforcement. According to KIRO, in 2013 he was caught driving with a suspended license. Later that year, he was charged with 40 grams or less marijuana possession and sentenced to 90 days in jail. Eighty-seven of those days were suspended.

In 2014, Benitez Santana was caught again driving with a suspended license and sentenced to 90 days in jail. This time, 85 days were suspended. He was then charged with domestic violence in King County in 2019.

This man obviously shouldn’t have been driving. He should have been in jail. And he should not have been in the country. If he had remained in Mexico where he belonged, Officer Gadd would be alive.

Benitez Santana came to the U.S. illegally without admission or parole by an immigration officer, according to KCPQ. In other words, he was here illegally.

Officer Gadd leaves behind a wife, Cammryn Gadd, and young daughter, Kaelyn Gadd, and a fundraiser has been created to support his young family.

Murder isn’t the only crime being committed by illegal immigrants. In 2021, 1,178 assault and domestic violence crimes were attributed to illegal immigrants. That’s more than a 400 percent rise from the 208 just a year before, according to Fox. Illegal possession of or trafficking of drugs rose by a whopping 453 percent from 2020 to 2021 from 386 to 2,138. And driving under the influence convictions went from 364 in 2020 to 1,629 in 2021, a 347 percent increase.

Who was in charge of border security in 2021 when the outrageous rise in crimes committed by illegal immigrants came about? The Biden administration. That’s no coincidence. The Biden administration has engineered the border crisis in a feverish quest for power.

U.S. citizens are dying because of the Biden administration’s border policies. They are being beaten, robbed and poisoned in unprecedented numbers by illegal immigrants. How long will it be allowed to go on?


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

 

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

 

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

 

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

 

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

 

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor
