I-270 wrong way. Aug. 29. Two dead. Beer in the cabin. No brake. That is a scene, not a spin.

Wrong way on I-270. Beer bottles in the cabin. ICE already filed the detainer.
Summary
- Fox News reports ICE lodged a detainer with Montgomery County for Jose Antonio Caballero-Nolasco, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador charged after an Aug. 29 wrong-way crash on Interstate 270. DHS told Fox he faces two counts of grossly negligent manslaughter, two counts of homicide by motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol, and life-threatening injury by a motor vehicle.
- Officials said he was under the influence, driving the wrong way, and hit a vehicle with four people. Musammat Shamima Begum, 46, and her daughter Areebah Jahin, 23, of Northern Virginia, died on the way home. A 62-year-old man and an 8-year-old girl survived and went to hospitals.
- Responding officers said he smelled of alcohol, had bloodshot eyes and slurred speech, and showed no sign of braking. Montgomery County State's Attorney John McCarthy said he admitted drinking and that empty and full beer bottles were found in the vehicle. He went to a hospital, then the Montgomery County Detention Center.
- DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said the deaths were completely avoidable and that ICE asked Maryland not to release this killer back onto the street.
Commentary
A night nurse in Rockville still tastes coffee and watches a vinyl waiting chair that should not be the last seat a mother holds. She did not work a double so a wrong-way drunk could own I-270.
August 29. Two dead. One eight-year-old in a ward. The honest dad already paid the toll. The detainer is the first honest hold.
Ask every working mother who still buckles a child at midnight: if ICE can lodge the paper the same week, who still wants Montgomery to cut him loose?
Comments
I pulled a wreck once. Hold the driver for ICE before the jail door opens.
Caballero-Nolasco. Two manslaughter. Two DUI homicide. Mullin detainer. Publish the four.
Allied freeways still treat a wrong-way drunk as a removal case. A release is a bill.
Begum 46. Jahin 23. 62-year-old and 8-year-old lived. McCarthy bottles. File the four.
I still drive 270 after a graveyard. I want the detainer honored, not bargained.
An 8-year-old in a ward is the whole argument. Keep him. Then fly him.
A detainer that a county ignores is a second crash waiting. Honor the paper.
Fox printed Aug. 29, I-270, two dead, and the ICE hold. Argue those nouns.
Honor the detainer. Charge the homicide. A wrong-way cabin is not a guest room.
