Adorable seven-year-old girl 'killed by migrant' two months after he was released from jail

A Venezuelan migrant that could have been deported over two months ago was charged with a late-night drunk driving crash in Texas that killed a young girl.
Chacin, 41, was charged with intoxicated manslaughter, a felony punishable by at least two years in prison, for the December 1 crash in north Houston that killed seven-year-old Ivory Smith.
However, this was not the illegal migrant's first run-in with the law; Chacin had already spent 113 days in jail earlier this year for assaulting a family member.
Chacin was arrested for that assault in June and when he was released on September 24, he was put on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) hold, court records showed.
However, those records also shockingly indicate that the ICE hold was lifted for some reason, allowing him to walk free - and then allegedly drive drunk.
DailyMail.com approached ICE for comment on why this release happened.
Fox 26 Houston, the outlet that broke this story, couldn't get an answer out of ICE's Houston office on what led the immigration hold being lifted.
However, the agency offered no additional information beyond that.
Andy Kahan, a crime victim advocate based in Houston, was outraged that ICE didn't immediately take custody of Chacin back in September.
'Why was that hold lifted when he discharged his sentence? If he had kept that hold on him, no ifs, ands or buts, you have a 7-year-old girl who would be alive today and a mother who wasn't seriously injured,' he told Fox 26.
Ivory's family said that her mother, Christina Quainoo, is out of the hospital and still recovering from her injuries.
The family released a statement to the media, which mourned Ivory and slammed the immigration system for failing 'to keep dangerous individuals off our streets'.

Houston = democrat run city. That’s the reason the ICE hold was ignored.

The judicial system is broken.

Biden needs to be prosecuted, F this. Don’t forget...they did what after Trump left office? Oh that’s right, they prosecuted him and for stuff that was 100% legal, but here we have this punk Biden siding with our enemies, deliberately putting the lives of US citizens in danger and he gets not even a wrist tap?

When his 113 day sentence was completed, Texas Rangers should have greeted this human scum at the jail door escorted him across the border. Or flown him home to Venezuela, and shoved him out over the ocean.

Biden and Moron Mayorkas should be indicted as accessories in the child’s murder.

Sickens me to see that monster's picture. That sweet poor child, to have her life yanked away before it could be lived—that fills me with hate for these fat greasy invaders. That monster perp should be beaten to death with the jawbone of an ass.
