NL Times—A man with a history of prior offenses has been charged after fatally striking an elderly pedestrian in a crosswalk, according to Daily Caller reporting. Records show he had previously been released by federal immigration authorities years earlier, reviving questions about enforcement gaps for repeat offenders who remain in the country after prior encounters with border agents. The case has drawn renewed attention to the recidivism debate playing out in immigration-enforcement circles.
