     An illegal immigrant from El Salvador charged with killing a mother and her daughter while driving drunk the wrong way on a Maryland freeway is being sought by federal immigration authorities.  He should be tried to the fullest.

     U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has lodged a detainer request with authorities in Montgomery County for Jose Antonio Caballero-Nolasco, the Department of Homeland Security told Fox News Digital.  He is charged with two counts of grossly negligent manslaughter, two counts of hOfficials said Caballero-Nolasco was under the influence while driving the wrong way on Interstate 270 on Aug. 29, right before he crashed head-on into a vehicle with four people inside.

     Two of the occupants, Musammat Shamima Begum, 46, and her 23-year-old daughter Areebah Jahin, were killed. They were from Northern Virginia and were on their way home at the time of the crash, affiliate FOX 5 D.C. reported.  Two others, a 62-year-old man and an 8-year-old girl, survived and were taken to local hospitals.  Investigators said they believe that alcohol impairment was a contributing factor in the crash.  Homicide by motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol, and life-threatening injury by a motor vehicle.  

     "This tragedy was completely avoidable. Musammat Shamima Begum and Areebah Jahin should still be alive. ICE has lodged a detainer asking officials in Maryland to commit to not releasing this killer back onto our streets," said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. "My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their family, and for a swift recovery for those who were injured."  Responding officers at the scene of the crash said Caballero-Nolasco smelled of alcohol, had bloodshot eyes, and slurred speech after the crash. He did not show any signs of braking before the crash, FOX 5 reported.

     "There were some beer bottles that he admitted that he had been drinking," said Montgomery County State’s Attorney John McCarthy. "There were other bottles that were empty and full bottles were found within the vehicle."  Caballero-Nolasco was taken to a local hospital before being transferred to the Montgomery County Detention Center.
