Thefianc of a California woman killed in a car crash -- allegedly by a drunken driver who'd been deported five times -- spoke out Wednesday, saying sanctuary policies in the U.S. have led to a broken system with deadly consequences.

Sandra Duran was driving home from her Los Angeles church last month when police said the illegal immigrant smashed into her car at an intersection, killing her.

PREGNANT GUATEMALAN MOTHER OF FIVE FACES DEPORTATION

The man behind the wheel, 45-year-old Estuardo Alvarado, was escaping the scene of a previous traffic accident on Feb. 19 just before the deadly crash, investigators said. Since 1998, Alvarado had been sent back to Mexico five times, most recently in 2011,The L.A. Timesreported. But officials said Alvarado returned yet again.

Our system failed us. Our system failed us, Durans fianc, Rodrigo Macias, toldFox & Friendson Wednesday. Pertaining to these illegal immigrants, criminal illegal immigrants that are being harbored here because of [elected officials]. Because our citys almost a sanctuary city.

Duran and Macias were set to be married this summer. Instead, Macias and Durans two children one of whom was in the car with Duran the day she died spent a winter day burying Duran.

Macias has since become an outspoken critic of so-called sanctuary cities and the criminal illegal aliens who have taken advantage of an often-lax enforcement system.

People watching that are for sanctuary cities need to pay attention what is going on in these cities, he said. I mean, we have these criminals that are roaming around the cities, and us not being protected as American citizens.

Macias now must wait for justice when Alvarado, whom Macias says has had multiple D.U.I.s, goes on trial. And he cant shake the feeling that a Swiss-cheese immigration system is the entire reason his life changed.

Our life is broken forever, Macias said. As a matter of fact, if there was an American citizen that had that rap sheet, that had those multiple felonies, multiple D.U.I.s, I wouldn't be speaking to you right now.

Victim's fiance speaks out after illegal immigrant accused in deadly car crash - Fox News

Homeland Security has begun denying immigrant-rights groups access to detention facilities and to some of the illegal immigrants being held in them, a coalition of organizations said in a civil rights complaint filed Wednesday.

While the problems go back for a year, theyve gotten worse in the weeks since President Trump was elected, according to the group Community Initiatives for Visiting Immigrants in Confinement (CIVIC), which asked the Homeland Security Departments civil rights office to investigate.

They said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has begun limiting visits to its four Phoenix detention centers to once a month. And during a visit to a California detention center earlier this month detainees whod signed up to meet with the CIVIC team were blocked from speaking.

One particularly controversial facility in Pennsylvania, the Berks Family Residential Center, has begun limiting visits to protect the privacy of the detainees, CIVIC said.

The centers have come under scrutiny for years, amid accusations of poor treatment of detainees. Just last week the Homeland Security inspector general issued an emergency alert warning that detainees being held in an ICE-contracted facility in Orange County, California, were being served spoiled food, and that high-risk detainees were being mixed with low-risk detainees.

We are deeply concerned that President Trump is trying to hide what is happening in immigration detention facilities by curtailing access to them, said Christina Fialho, a lawyer and co-executive director of CIVIC.

The group said denying visits violates ICE policies that grant stakeholders in the immigration process access to both detention facilities and to immigrants who are being held, but who say they want to meet up with the groups.

ICE officials didnt immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday afternoon.

Some 248 illegal immigrants with criminal convictions, along with many who had re-entered the country illegally after already being deported, were arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in cities in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Delaware.

In total, 120 of the criminal illegal immigrants arrested had convictions or pending charges against them; 50 had already been deported back to their native countries out of the U.S.; 18 were immigration fugitives who had final deportation orders by an immigration judge; and six were facing federal charges for re-entering the U.S. and document fraud.

According to an ICE news release, the arrests included:

The ICE operation also included arresting criminal illegal immigrants who had been previously let free from custody by sanctuary city Philadelphia.

In the Philadelphia area, ICE arrested several at large criminal aliens in which the agency had issued detainers but the City of Philadelphia failed to honor them and released the individuals from custody a situation that puts the public at unnecessary risk, Philadelphia Acting Field Director for deportations, Jennifer Ritchey said. ICE will continue to conduct targeted enforcement operations, whether local jurisdictions intend to cooperate with ICE or not.

Ritchey said the raid was just a small example of what ICE is doing everyday under Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary John Kelly.
