A 16-year-old illegal immigrant from Colombia who received probation and community service after killing 24-year-old Kaitlyn Weaver in a high-speed crash in Aurora, Colorado, was nabbed by federal immigration agents last week.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed on Thursday that the illegal immigrant teen was arrested “along with his family who are also illegal aliens.” Last July, the Colombian teenager plowed into Weaver’s vehicle while driving around 90 mph in a residential area, according to authorities. Weaver, who was driving home from work and talking over speaker phone with her boyfriend at the time of the crash, was “effectively killed instantly,” her father, John Weaver, said.

ICE’s Denver field office blasted the Arapahoe District Attorney’s Office for letting the illegal immigrant off the hook.

“For the @DA18th justice is no jail time and probation for this criminal alien who killed a young woman while driving more than 90mph. For ICE, justice is arrest and removal,” ICE Denver wrote on X. “A 16-year-old citizen of Colombia, with a conviction for reckless driving resulting in death was arrested by ICE Denver officers last week and will remain in ICE custody pending an immigration hearing.”

Along with residing in the United States illegally, the teen was also illegally driving his mother’s uninsured vehicle, which his mother said he took without permission. The juvenile also had other minors in his vehicle when he crashed into Weaver.

John Weaver said that the district attorney’s office initially promised to pursue the maximum sentence for the teenager, which would have been two years in a correctional facility. Under new Democratic District Attorney Amy Padden, however, the illegal immigrant was offered two years of probation if he pleaded guilty. Arapahoe County Assistant District Attorney Ryan Brackley said the plea deal was handled by an experienced prosecutor and was not influenced by the new district attorney. The deal was upheld by a judge after hearing from the Weaver family, Brackley added.

Weaver worked at a drug rehab center in Aurora and was always looking for ways to care for other people, according to her father. Before taking the job at the drug rehab center, Weaver volunteered for a suicide hotline.

“She was really trying to make a difference in their lives every day,” her father said.

A federal appeals court reinstated President Donald Trump’s sweeping “Liberation Day” tariffs on Thursday.

The appeals court granted the Trump administration’s request for a temporary stay of a lower court’s order freezing tariff increases across dozens of countries. The Thursday decision puts back in place a key component of the president’s economic agenda.

“The request for an immediate administrative stay is granted to the extent that the judgments and the permanent injunctions entered by the Court of International Trade in these cases are temporarily stayed until further notice while this court considers the motions papers,” the appeals court said in its opinion.

On Wednesday, the New York-based Court of International Trade ruled that the president had overstepped his authority in issuing the sweeping new tariff regime, abusing emergency powers and stepping on Congress’ constitutional authority to regulate commerce with foreign countries. The court consolidated two separate cases brought by businesses and state attorneys general in its ruling.

The appeals court gave the plaintiffs until June 5 to respond to its temporary stay of Trump’s tariffs.

The trade court’s earlier ruling effectively dissolved the tariffs put in place under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, a 1977 law that had never been used to implement tariffs until Trump.

“The question in the two cases before the court is whether the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (‘IEEPA’) delegates these powers to the President in the form of authority to impose unlimited tariffs on goods from nearly every country in the world,” a three-judge panel wrote. “The court does not read IEEPA to confer such unbounded authority and sets aside the challenged tariffs imposed thereunder.”

“Because of the Constitution’s express allocation of the tariff power to Congress … we do not read IEEPA to delegate an unbounded tariff authority to the President. We instead read IEEPA’s provisions to impose meaningful limits on any such authority it confers,” the panel said. “The Worldwide and Retaliatory Tariffs lack any identifiable limits.”

In invoking the act, the White House said that “large and persistent annual U.S. goods trade deficits” had wrecked U.S. manufacturing, undermined supply chains, and threatened national security. The court dismissed the Trump administration’s justification.
