Скачать или смотреть DHS calls out Oregon for undocumented driving law; both sides weigh in

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has criticized an Oregon law that permits immigrants in the country illegally to obtain driver's licenses.

The condemnation came after DHS said an immigrant with an Oregon license was charged in a hit-and-run incident that resulted in the death of 8-year-old Mora Gerety.

Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated, "8-year-old Mora Gerety’s precious life was taken by an illegal alien who should have never been in our country, let alone issued a driver's license by the sanctuary state of Oregon."

Despite the DHS's stance, Boise Police reported that the man involved cooperated with investigators, and is facing no charges at this time.

A search by KATU found no criminal charges against him in Oregon or Idaho databases.
