Here’s more:
Melissa Ramirez, 27, has been charged with two counts of second-degree manslaughter with a motor vehicle in the deaths of 38-year-old Bridgeport Police Officer Cooper Whiteside and 34-year-old Brittany Anne Islami. The defendant was also charged with illegal operation of a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs/alcohol, traveling unreasonably fast, and failure to drive in the proper lane, the Danbury Police Department announced on Friday.
Ramirez was jailed on a $500,000 bond.
On July 13, Whiteside and Islami were riding on his Harley-Davidson motorcycle on Sugar Hollow Road in Danbury. The city is located about 65 miles north of Manhattan, New York.
At about 2:45 a.m., Ramirez was driving her jeep when she allegedly smashed into the motorcycle. The two victims were pronounced dead at the scene, regional ABC affiliate WTNH reported.
UPDATE: Illegal alien who was driving drunk and kiIIed a Connecticut cop and his girlfriend, just had her bond REDUCED by Democrat-appointed judge Judge Seán McGuinnes.
The reason? “She has deep ties to the community.” https://t.co/QuXVmsS1vD pic.twitter.com/cAzY0wIdY8

They do not care.
This is getting ridiculous, how many more Americans have to die because of illegals? It’s a daily occurrence now!

However many it takes for Democrats to get votes.
This should never happen. Illegal aliens should never be allowed to stay in our communities.
