LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – Michigan State Senator Joe Bellino (R-Monroe) wants to know if Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s office issued a commercial driver’s license to the illegal immigrant who allegedly killed a mother and daughter in a car crash less than two weeks ago.
Jose Medina-Hernandez, a 33-year-old illegal immigrant who lived in Westland, crashed into the vehicle carrying 88-year-old Nancy Richmond and her daughter, 63-year-old Crystal Brunn. The accident occurred on M-53 in Shelby Township on June 6.

Senator Bellino points out in his letter that a media report from Fox 2 that indicated Medina-Hernandez had obtained a Michigan commercial driver’s license (CDL).
Bellino points out that CDLs require a background check. Medina-Hernandez’s bond has been set at $250,000 and while no trial date has been set, immigration officials are investigating.
This is not the first time the Gretchen Whitmer administration’s “welcoming” policy has come under fire. Ruby Garcia, a 25-year-old Grand Rapids resident, was allegedly killed in March by her illegal immigrant boyfriend Brandon Ortiz-Vite. He is headed to trial.
In April, officials said an illegal migrant from Mexico allegedly broke into a St. Joseph County home and raped two young girls. He eluded police for one week before being captured in Indiana. Officials there held him on an immigration retainer.
