German Adriano Llangari Inga, the Ecuadorian citizen who faces multiple felony charges stemming from a deadly Minneapolis crash, has been detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
According to ICE’s website, Llangari Inga is being held at the Freeborn Adult Detention Center in Albert Lea, Minn. He is listed as “In ICE Custody.”
Earlier this month, Llangari Inga was charged in Hennepin County District Court with three felonies and two gross misdemeanors in connection to a car crash which occurred last year and killed one person and injured two others.
Court records say Llangari Inga had a blood alcohol level above the legal limit at the time of the crash and responding officers found three open beer bottles in his vehicle. Further, the criminal complaint says the foreign national did not have a valid license or insurance.
ICE informed Alpha News that Llangari Inga was unlawfully present in the United States.
After being arrested and charged, the 35-year-old posted a $100,000 bond and was let out of jail. Under the terms of his release, Llangari Inga is required to obey all laws, attend all court appearances, and surrender any passport he may have. Additionally, the Ecuadorian citizen must not leave Minnesota without court permission, drive, consume alcohol, or possess firearms.
Llangari Inga’s freedom to walk the streets was short-lived as ICE picked him up last week.
Alpha News previously reached out to ICE with additional questions about Llangari Inga. However, the federal agency has not provided any further information.
“Despite a lack of cooperation from local Minnesota authorities, ICE arrested criminal illegal alien German Llangari Inga,” Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary for public affairs for the Department of Homeland Security, told Fox News Tuesday.
“This criminal illegal alien has been evading prosecution for vehicular homicide that resulted in the death of Minnesota mom, Victoria Eileen Harwell,” she added. “Despite Hennepin County refusing to honor this criminal illegal alien’s detainer TWICE, ICE officers tracked him down and removed this criminal from Minnesota’s streets.”
The Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office previously said in a statement that it “cannot lawfully hold individuals in custody based solely on an administrative detainer issued by the Department of Homeland Security or ICE.”
“If a judicially-signed warrant is presented to HCSO, ICE will be notified when it becomes the holding agency,” the statement continued. “In the absence of such a warrant, individuals must be released once all criminal charges or holds have been resolved. HCSO is committed to working with federal and local partners and honoring the constitutional rights of all individuals.”
