Trump Admin Could Deport Entire Family After Illegal Migrant Kills Colorado Woman

A top Trump administration official said this week that the entire family of an illegal immigrant involved in a deadly crash in Colorado last year could be deported—highlighting the administration’s tough stance on law and order.

Stephen Miller, White House Deputy Chief of Staff and senior immigration advisor to President Donald Trump, issued a blunt response on X following new revelations about the case of Kaitlyn Weaver, a 24-year-old from Aurora, Colorado, who was killed by an unlicensed illegal alien driving 90 mph.

“The entire family will be deported,” Miller wrote.

His statement came after Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin reported that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had arrested the 16-year-old Colombian national responsible for Weaver’s death—along with his entire family, all of whom are also in the country illegally.

“BREAKING: ICE confirms to @FoxNews they have arrested the teenage Colombian illegal alien who was given no jail time & probation after he hit & killed Kaitlyn Weaver… ICE also arrested the teen’s entire family… and will seek to deport all of them,” Melugin posted.

ICE confirmed the arrests in a formal statement:

“U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested a 16-year-old criminal alien from Colombia May 20 in Aurora, Colorado. The minor, who was convicted of reckless driving resulting in death, was arrested along with his family who are also illegal aliens.”

Despite the tragedy, the minor received no jail time, and was instead sentenced to probation and community service by Colorado’s 18th Judicial District—an outcome that outraged many Americans and sparked national attention.

ICE said it is acting within its regular authority:

“All aliens in violation of U.S. immigration law may be subject to arrest, detention and, if found removable by final order, removal from the United States, regardless of nationality.”

In a separate but related victory for the Trump administration, the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday sided with the White House, lifting a lower court’s order that had temporarily blocked the administration from revoking “parole” protections for more than 500,000 migrants from Venezuela, Cuba, Haiti, and Nicaragua.

The unsigned ruling allows the administration to proceed with deportations while litigation continues, reversing a decision by Judge Indira Talwani in Boston, who claimed that federal law requires case-by-case parole reviews rather than wholesale cancellation of entire programs.

Two liberal justices, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson, dissented from the high court’s ruling.

Immigration parole allows certain migrants to live and work in the U.S. temporarily under “urgent humanitarian” or “significant public benefit” grounds. Former President Joe Biden used this authority broadly to admit large groups from Latin America amid a surge of illegal border crossings.

On his first day back in office, President Trump signed an executive order to eliminate these programs, and DHS followed through in March, shortening parole terms and prioritizing expedited removal proceedings.

The Biden-era parole programs, first announced in 2022 and expanded in 2023, were seen by many as a backdoor amnesty for migrants who otherwise would not qualify for legal entry. Under Trump, the administration has made national security and immigration enforcement a top priority.

The case is among several key legal battles now headed for resolution by the conservative-majority Supreme Court. Last week, the Court also cleared the way for Trump to revoke Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for an estimated 350,000 Venezuelans, another immigration shield expanded under Biden.
