Illegal migrant enters plea in crash that killed boy one day before his 12th birthday

A woman who was in the U.S. illegally admitted to causing a head-on, wrong-way, crash that claimed the life of a young Missouri boy.

The devastating accident occurred on December 20, 2023, when 33-year-old Endrina Bracho drove the wrong way down the highway at a speed of 75 miles per hour, which was 35 miles over the speed limit posted, as reported by the Hazelwood Police Department.

“Traveling 1,700 feet at more than 70 miles per hour on a road with a 40-mile limit is quite a distance. It’s a substantial journey in the wrong direction without noticing,” Sgt. Scott Schnurbusch of Hazelwood Police Department shared with FOX 2.

Authorities confirmed that Bracho was a Venezuelan migrant without a driver’s license, when she slammed into the family’s car head-on.

“JUSTICE – the undocumented person who killed Travis Wolfe in Missouri has confessed to the crime. She shouldn’t have been in Missouri to begin with, and it wouldn’t have happened if Joe Biden had not relaxed our border controls,” Hawley expressed in a statement on X.

In January, Hawley introduced “Travis’s Law” to honor Travis Wolfe’s legacy and prevent other criminal illegal aliens from roaming free. 

“Under President Biden’s open border, Missouri’s 12-year-old Travis Wolfe was killed by an illegal alien, who was then released from jail. There’s no legislation less controversial than protecting American citizens from dangerous illegal aliens—and preventing another death like Travis’s,” Hawley wrote. “My amendment, Travis’s Law, would guarantee the detention of criminal illegals who commit a motor vehicle crime or victimize a minor.”

“Travis’s Law” is an amendment to the Laken Riley Act, legislation which would ensure that ICE detains illegal aliens who commit burglary, theft, larceny, or shoplifting.
