On March 13, 2005, Rwandan national, Ngere Omari, was driving the wrong way on Interstate 5, near Seattle, Wa., when he crashed head-on into the car being driven by Heather Lee Meadows.

Meadows, 20, was killed instantly and her passenger was seriously injured.

At the time of the crash, Omari had a blood-alcohol level of .18, was on probation and had a suspended license for an earlier DUI. He was convicted of vehicular homicide and sentenced to six years behind bars.

During his imprisonment, he received multiple surgeries, physical therapy and mental health care. Because he does not speak English, he was also given a translator to communicate with the medical personnel…all at the expense of the taxpayers.

Though Omari entered the country illegally, he requested and was granted political asylum, due to Rwanda’s civil war.

Last Tuesday, Omari walked out of the Monroe Correctional Complex, a free man. He was given a year off for good behavior.

At the time he was sent to prison, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement placed a hold on him, and apparently planned to deport him upon his release. However, that hold was later lifted, and Omari is free to remain in the U.S.

Why?

A 2005 decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ruled that vehicular homicide does not warrant “removalâ€

This just makes me sick!

Drinking and Driving is premeditated murder.
