A Virginia congressman has demanded that the Department of Homeland Security release the findings of its investigation into why Carlos Martinelly-Montano, an undocumented immigrant who was allegedly driving drunk in an August car crash that killed a woman, was not deported before the accident.

"The Department has an obligation to publicly disclose as much of the report as possible, without compromising any 'law enforcement sensitive' information," Rep. Frank R. Wolf (R-Va.) wrote in a letter sent Wednesday to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.

Citing a Washington Post article that quoted a high-ranking DHS official saying that the results of the DHS investigation into the case would not be made public, Wolf called on Napolitano to meet with police and county officials and give them a full account.

Martinelly-Montano, 23, a native of Bolivia, faces charges of involuntary manslaughter in the Aug. 1 crash. He was released from DHS custody in October 2008, even though he had been found repeatedly guilty of drunk driving.

The accident, which left Benedictine nun Denise Mosier dead and two other nuns injured, happened while Martinelly-Montano was awaiting a much-delayed deportation hearing, during which he had to periodically check in with DHS officials.

this was talked about on a segment of OReilly tonite.
i cant remember if it was with Megyn Kelly or the other two legal's.

but they said the Wash Post broke the story that the findings were complete but not released because of some police information that is classified.
then said the DHS people say the report is not finished and that it will then be looked over to see what police stuff is in there. then might be made public after its done even though the Post says its already done.
it was also mentioned that the precious drunk driving case that happened in October of 08, had FOUR continuances and was scheduled for a hearing august 15, two weeks after this death
