From Breitbart: An illegal alien is accused of drunk driving and causing a crash that left an 8-year-old girl dead in the sanctuary state of California.
Last week, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents lodged a detainer against 25-year-old illegal alien Brayan Alva-Rodriguez of Guatemala after he allegedly caused a head-on collision on a San Diego highway that resulted in the death of an 8-year-old girl.
According to local police, Alva-Rodriguez was driving a 2005 Toyota Tacoma drunk when he crossed lanes and hit a Toyota Camry head-on. The driver of the Camry, a 26-year-old man from Yuma, Arizona, suffered major injuries as did his front passenger, a 28-year-old woman.
Three children in the back of the Camry, a 5-year-old boy, a 4-year-old boy, and an 8-year-old girl, were taken to a nearby children’s hospital. The girl did not survive her injuries and died there.
According to ICE officials, Alva-Rodriguez already had a history of drunk driving, prior to the deadly crash. He was arrested for a DUI on Sept. 6, 2020, and arrested again on April 7, 2021 for a DUI and a hit-and-run. An immigration judge ordered him removed from the U.S. on March 16, 2023, but he was never deported.

A GoFundMe account set up to help the shattered U.S. Marine family shares more details about the situation:
On Sunday, November 30, 2025, Sgt CruzAcencio, Oscar, A Marine stationed at MCAS Yuma, and his family (Jackie, his wife, and three young children, Arya, Ayden, and Atlas) were involved in a devastating head-on collision in Julian, California. The Marine and two of the children are now hospitalized with serious injuries. Tragically, their oldest child, Arya, did not survive the accident.
This heartbreaking event happened at a time when the family was already in transition. As they were preparing to leave the Marine Corps and begin the next chapter of their lives, all their belongings were packed and on the road. Now, with nothing but what they had with them that day, they are facing the unimaginable: recovering from life-altering injuries while grieving the loss of a precious child.
