From Fox News: The state of California plans to comply with Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s detainer after an illegal immigrant convicted of vehicular manslaughter was set to be released on July 19 – over six years before his full sentence is up.
Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s press office announced he would be brought into federal custody ahead of the July release date. Fox News reported earlier that the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation tends to follow ICE detainer orders, but there were concerns that the state’s sanctuary policies could have played a role in letting him be released back into the community.
“After being deported in 2013, this individual unlawfully re-entered the US & committed heinous crimes. A GOP DA then gave him a plea deal instead of pursuing 2nd-degree murder. CDCR will again coordinate with ICE—as they have w/ 10,000+ inmates—to transfer him before release,” the governor’s press account tweeted on Wednesday afternoon.
Oscar Eduardo Ortega-Anguiano was driving drunk, high, and speeding at nearly 100mph on the 405 freeway in Orange County in November 2021, when he crashed into a car being driven by a young couple, 19-year-old Anya Varfolomeev and Nicholay Osokin, which killed them both as they burned alive. In spring 2022, he was convicted of two counts of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated.
The victims’ families were just notified on Easter Sunday that Ortega Anguiano is being released from prison on July 19, after having served only 3.5 years of his 10-year sentence.
News of his upcoming release has prompted massive outrage.
Newsom’s office has posted the exact same message announcing they will turn Ortega Anguiano over to ICE at least 14 times, blasted it out in response to multiple people who have commented on the case.

Border Czar Tom Homan had vowed that if California didn’t honor the ICE detainer, he would have ICE agents outside the facility to nab him as soon as he was released.
Now Bill Essayli, U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, has announced, “My office has filed a felony immigration charge against this defendant. He faces up to 20 years in federal prison if convicted for 8 USC 1326. If the State of California will not seek the full measure of justice against this individual, the [DOJ] will.”
