An El Salvador native who had been deported from the United States four times is facing charges of vehicular homicide after allegedly killing a mother and her teenage son in a drunken driving incident in Colorado. Jose Guadalupe Menjivar-Alas, 37, was charged with vehicular homicide reckless, vehicular homicide DUI, and habitual traffic offender following a crash that resulted in the deaths of 47-year-old Melissa Powell and her 16-year-old son, Riordan. Authorities have indicated that alcohol and speed may have been contributing factors in the tragic accident. The suspect has a history of alcohol-related driving offenses dating back to 2007. Meanwhile, Colorado has been grappling with the impacts of the migrant crisis, prompting the city of Denver to issue warnings to migrants urging them to seek shelter and resources in more affordable cities. The incident has also reignited calls from House GOP members to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over his handling of the migrant crisis.
