Illinois quietly releases killer illegal migrant — who had deportation order when he mowed down Marine vet — from prison early

Illinois released Vicente Torres-Vasquez on parole on 2 November, four years before his scheduled release, after he served time for a fatal drink-driving crash. Federal immigration agents arrested him again the following Wednesday after locating him, and US officials say he will be deported.

Torres-Vasquez was sentenced to 18 years in 2012 for killing 55-year-old Marine veteran Gregory Errol Homola and seriously injuring two women, one of whom was pregnant. His blood alcohol level was 0.28%, and the article says he had four earlier drink-driving arrests. DHS says he had entered the US illegally at least three times and had a final removal order from 2010; it also says Illinois facilities did not honour ICE detainers or notify federal officers before his release.
