On Sunday, Prince William County police arrested Carlos A. Martinelly Montano, 23, after he slammed head on into a car in which three Benedictine nuns were traveling. Sister Denise Mosier was killed instantly, her two companions were taken by helicopter to the hospital where they both remain in critical condition.
Montano was charged with DUI and involuntary manslaughter.
This is actually Montano’s third DUI arrest in Prince William County over the last five years. At the time of the crash, the illegal alien was free on bond while awaiting deportation proceedings.
Montano is currently being held without bond at the Prince William-Manassas regional jail.
A list of a of few Montano’s offenses follows:
- April 2009…he was arrested for driving without a license and convicted in June.
-October 2008…he was stopped for driving 55 in a 35 mph zone, and was found to have a .17 blood alcohol level. Montano was sentenced to three years probation and his driver’s license was suspended.
-December 2007…he was arrested for being drunk in public.
-July 2007…he was charged with DUI and convicted later that same year.
Though Immigration and Customs enforcement ordered Montano to be deported in March 2009, he continued to have run-ins with the law, and remained free.
According to spokesman Jonathan Perok, Prince William County Police notified ICE after both his first and second DUI arrests. The department is now investigating how the illegal alien was able to obtain a valid driver’s license.
Corey Stewart, chairman of the Prince William Board of Supervisors, issued the following statement on the case: “The despicable thing is that this criminal was … handed over to ICE twice, and released by ICE twice. He’s gone out an killed a nun. That’s a perfect example of what’s wrong with immigration enforcement in this country. The blame is on representatives in Congress for being so flaccid on the issue, and they continue not to fund the deportation of illegal immigrants in this country.”
This case is a tragic example of how the federal government has abandoned their duty to all of us. How many more innocent Americans have to die before either the feds do their job and enforce immigration laws, or the states ignore Obama’s meddling and do it for themselves?
Barack Obama and Janet Napolitano are just as responsible, through their inaction, for the death of Sister Denise Mosier as is the illegal alien who smashed into her.
Comments
Obama is even worse than Bush. Invaders all should be held without bond until deported. We've had too much blood, pain and tears spilled by the invaders in league with our 'leaders'!
When ANYONE doesn’t do their job, they need to be fired. Since Congress works for us, it is OUR responsibility to fire them this coming November. If we fail to do this, innocent blood is on OUR hands!
Thank God Obama is getting tough with Arizona.
Nice work, Barry.
This story is antagonistic and reactionary. By the comments I've read it serves nothing else than to feed the trolls.
Yeah, nice work Barry.
Blood and pain? Take a look at the shafted Military man with a missing limb so that Shell could regain control of some oil in Iraq.
How about volunteers [who were lied to about the conditions] that went in selflessly to help during the WTC disaster and are getting denied health care from our government? National Health? NO
Blaming Obama? Wasn't he arrested in 2007 and 2008? Should we blame Bush as well? You state he was simply let go. Or was he deported and then entered the country again illegally? Facts, Barry. A little more of that and some investigation might be nice. Or was it that you couldn't find anything by googling it so you just turned in this half-baked piece of...inflammatory rhetoric. One quote;One source;Real investigative reporting.
The obscenity to me is that you folks are flogging this dead nun to serve your purpo
The problem is the bond part. There should be NO BOND. As for Arizona, right on, keep deporting every alien you find. The ACLU can back up the American citizens that have lost life and limb to aliens this time.
When will people accept the fact that laws only apply to law abiding citizens? "The department is now investigating how the illegal alien was able to obtain a valid driver’s license." Well "illegal alien" should be the first clue to how he got anything done. He should have been deported after his first encounter with police! But yet our "representatives" in congress continually refuse to enforce the laws that are already a part of this country. We DO NOT need immigration reform we just need to enforce the laws we already have!
Drew is an idiot. This story is true and heaven forbid a loved one of yours dies because of someone who is not suppose to be here. Continue to keep your head in the sand and kiss the rear of the almight Jack A__ that reminds us everyday of how great he is. It's not working anymore. Most of us are smart enough to know the truth. And when you can show proof that any US company unfairly benefited with oil from the Iraq war go right ahead other wise keep you typical left lies to yourself.
@Drew...Here are some facts...
1. He is seriel convict
2. He is violating our laws by simply being in the US.
3. He has now killed one person and harmed two others.
I don't care if the rest of the story was made up. Those three items alone are enough for me to either deport or put him in prison (hard labor) for several decades.
And he wanted to come to the U.S. so that he can get free rides from the government to get drunk and do whatever he wants.
To Drew:
You mentioned the WTC volunteers who were denied health care...if our borders were tighter, we wouldn't need to offer health care to those people who became ill because we wouldn't have been attacked. Think about who destroyed WTC and killed all of those innocent people. They sure weren't Americans. Did you hear about the Times Square bomb attempt earlier this summer? Who was responsible for that?? An ILLEGAL. Pull your head out of your ass. We are becoming victims in our own country. Something needs to be done to keep tabs on who is coming into OUR country. If its such an inconvenience for you to know who is here, then maybe you and all of those who think like you should go live somewhere else.
Illegal- The Time Square bomber was an actual legal immigrant, so he is subject to our laws and protection.
OGABUNGO ODUMBO and DHS Secretary need to stand trial right along side of that greasy Wet@#$%. They are just as guilty as if they were driving the car. And then they sue Arizona for trying to protect us. IMPEACH OGABUNGO ODUMBO!!
I wonder what the "Bishops for Amnesty" will say at this poor woman's funeral?
Drew's comments are typical of the left. He raises issues that are completely irrelevant to the story at hand.
So the story is "reactionary"? Tell that to the families whose lives this illegal alien has destroyed.
The fact is that Obama is willfully ignoring the right of every American citizen to a free and sovereign nation. Why? So that he can, with a wave of his hand, issue by proclamation amnesty for millions of people here illegally who are then beholden to him for their new-found "citizenship." Then voila! Instant, new voter base.
Sister Denise Mosier is just the latest victim in Obama's power grab, and it sickens me to no end.
Wake up, America!
Estoban,
You've hit the nail squarely on the head. Let the lunatic left try as they may to euphemise the issue; illegal aliens are indeed invaders.
Reactionary. REALLY? We should react and we don't. We should be protecting our citizens FIRST. PERIOD. Fact: one American citizen being buried. Two others injured. Fact: one illegal immigrant with a record for ignoring our laws. Wonder how you would feel if this were your relative? React. You bet your bottom dollar.
SOMEONE NEEDS TO SUE THAT SANCTUARY CITY NOW? ENOUGH LAWSUITS THEY MIGHT START THINKING AMERICAN AGAIN ? IF NOT BRING MORE LAWSUITS THIS HAS TO STOP NOW.
Evidently a criminal illegal alien has more rights than a Benedictine nun who is in the country legally!
HANG HIM AND THROW THE JUDGE WHO GAVE HIM BOND IN JAIL FOR MURDER!!!!
This moronic savage need to be thrown in prison and never again see the light of day. I'm convinced that it is the law south of the border that people must get stinking drunk before they put the keys in the ignition. How often this story is repeated in every city, every day. I hope that each of these stories as well as the ones on all other crimes they commit, land on the desk in the oval office, although they really won't make a difference. Who cares about the death of innocents when you can get votes and cheap labor? And for the pious, bleeding hearts who say, "We have our own criminals." Sure we do, and we see that they are punished. The crimes committed by illegal aliens would not happen if they were not here.
All you bitching about Obama....Seems like he was arrested FIRST in 2007. WHEN GEORGE BUSH WAS PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!! What did he do about it......A BIG FAT NOTHING. That's what!
So I can understand the valid concerns here...however when a tragedy as such happens we are not and never were the judges of people...God the Almighty is the only true judge that we will face. On a different note: land is land is land and one thing that this country needs to learn is that we are not entitled to any such holdings, again God is watching us in our selfishness and greed and because of this do not think that we won't suffer just as much as this young man will for the mistakes and wrongdoings we have on our slates...The immigration issue is a hot one right now and let me tell you that it is not easily solved in any way shape or form...It would cost billions of dollars to deport all of the illegal/out of status people from the US so open up your wallet if that's what you really want...when Congress and the Senate do what you ask, don't cry about your tax dollars being raised because for everything there is a consequence!
Right on Illegal is ILLEGAL we are victims if we are American cause seems to me right NOW if you are an illegal you have more rights than I do as an American and that SICKENS me to NO END!!!! EVERY ONE NEEDS TO PICK UP YOUR BIBLE AND READ IT!! IT TELLS YOU THAT IN THE END TIMES "WHAT IS WRONG WILL SEEM RIGHT AND WHAT IS RIGHT WILL BE WRONG!!!!!" WAKE UP AMERICA AND GET BACK WITH GOD!!!! THAT IS WHAT IS KILLING AMERICA LET ALONE AN ILLEGAL RUNNING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MAY GOD HELP US EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Drew...Here are some facts...
1. He is seriel convict
2. He is violating our laws by simply being in the US.
3. He has now killed one person and harmed two others.
I don't care if the rest of the story was made up. Those three items alone are enough for me to either deport or put him in prison (hard labor) for several decades.
I am packing my stuff and i am going back to Mexico...
GREAT JOB DAVE GIBSON!
The New York City Police Department has arrested a man in connection
with the latest bias crime on Staten Island as they continue to look
for suspects in the other attacks on a Mexican immigrant in the area.Police
...say a 15-year-old immigrant from Liberia was arrested Sunday night on
charges of robbery, assault and aggravated harassment, all as a hate
crime. He will be charged as a juvenile.
Christian Vazquez, 18, says he was on his way home from work at a
Manhattan restaurant when four teenagers jumped him, after one
distracted him.Vazquez says his attackers stole $10 from his
wallet while punching him and shouting ethnic slurs at him. His
injuries are said to be minor."I never thought this would happen
to me," Vazquez told NY1. "I speak fluent English and Spanish. I get
along with most people. I am not the gang type."
This is clearly a case a racial profiling!
This is a hasty generalization of undocumented immigrants. While this is tragic, his status as an "illegal alien" is immaterial. A citizen of the US is just as prone to getting drunk as Montano. It is the nature of the media to report tragic stories. People who live a routine life don't get noticed by the media. So, it is very easy to generalize from a few, tragic news stories; yet, I don't think such generalization does anything to advance the immigration debate. Rather than building a wall, I believe the US has an obligation to review the causes of undocumented immigration from Mexico and the role the US plays in this. US corporations monopolize a hugely disproportionate amount of capital, much of which is obtained off the back of underpaid sweatshop workers in Mexico. The US is trying to have their cake and eat it too. This can't be sustained for much longer.
"His status as an 'illegal alien' is immaterial"... His status as an illegal alien is COMPLETELY material. Had he been deported immediately AFTER his DUI in July of 2007, public intoxication in December of 2007, his DUI in October of 2008, OR his driving without a license in April of 2009 (therefore physically removing him from anywhere NEAR the state of Virginia), he would NOT have been able to kill that poor woman.
Peter, the "cause" is free food, free health care, and free education. And if you think Americans are "just as prone to get drunk" as illegal Mexicans, then you don't live anywhere near them, like I do. I live with them, work with them , shop with them, and have employed them. I see them puking drunk often. Both me and my wife have been hit by uninsured illegal immigrant motorists, as well.
Peter,
You honestly believe his "immigration status" meaning, illegal status is "immaterial"?
Are you kidding?
The fact that this piece of crap had been arrested previously for being drunk in public, and was a known illegal alien, should not be overlooked, and in fact, is the very reason that nun was killed.
Had this creep been deported immediately, that woman would still be alive.
What in the HE11 is the matter with people like you?
Tell the family of that NUN that his "status" doesn't matter.
T. Marie,
You say it will cost billions to "send them back" and that we should all open our wallets.
Did it escape your attention, oh say in the last few decades, that we ALREADY pay through the NOSE for their welfare and entitlements, every time one of them comes here and drops a baby?
We pay billions BECAUSE they're here, and if we have to pay to get them out, so be it.
I say we "bill" all those liberal progressives that defend illegal aliens "rights" to be here in the first place. They can pay, I'll wave good bye from the border....
Greg, I am sorry you have had bad experiences with undocumented immigrants; however, to suppose that the legality or illegality of one's residence in the US predisposes them to drunkenness is not sound logic. It seems you have drawn such conclusions from your experience; however, your experience is not omniscient. Free resources in the US are without a doubt a reason many migrate illegally from Mexico into the US. However, as mentioned in my post below, US corporations have played a major role in creating such destitution in Mexico that many immigrants are left without a choice but to migrate if they want to survive. Furthermore, much of the criminal activity that comes from Mexico is in response to the unquenchable appetite for drugs that Americans seem to have. The tragedies that undocumented immigrants have committed are horrendous. Yet, the problem goes much deeper and is more complex than what the author of this article would have us believe; likewise is the solution.
This story is antagonistic and reactionary. By the comments I've read it serves nothing else than to feed the trolls.
Yeah, nice work Barry.
Blood and pain? Take a look at the shafted Military man with a missing limb so that Shell could regain control of some oil in Iraq.

Illegals won't get in trouble for killing someone in America until who they kill is a muslim.
Amy, thanks for responding to my post. Montano's immigration status is immaterial to the fact he was drunk. Being an undocumented immigrant does not automatically predispose one to inebriation. This article seems to draw that conclusion and, in doing so, slanders an entire people group. Not all who migrate illegally to the US are criminals or drunkards. I agree that this man should have been deported earlier. However, the scope of this article radiates far beyond this individual. It is clear from the conclusion the author draws in this article that this example is meant to be used as propaganda to paint all other undocumented immigrants in the same light as this individual. It is obvious from several of the other replies to this article that the author is successful in drawing to readers into rage and foment. However, this article would be far more valuable to the reader if it directed him or her to survey the systemic nature of this problem. Fences on borders are a mere band-aid.
When this happens to the family member of one those rotten pieces of trash in the government, THEN something will be done. As long as it is just the common folk affected by this criminal vermin, it will be swept under the rug, and these pigs with 3 and 4 names will continue to be treated like royalty.
This is exactly what NObammy & Nappytano are promoting.
TREASON. Comfort & Aid. Go ahead and continue to fight Arizona and the MAJORITY of America. You are a disgrace to the office,.... you are a disgrace to America.
Peter says:
"This is a hasty generalization of undocumented immigrants. While this is tragic, his status as an "illegal alien" is immaterial."
Actually, his status as an illegal alien is very material. If our government had done its job and kept this illegal alien out of the United States, Sister Denise Mosier would be alive today.
@ Dave
Yes. It's should be the same for any criminal in this country-illegal alien or not. It is nice that you've decided to convict him without a trial, though. Gitmo, anyone?
It's called due process which BTW the Nun [had she been arrested for a peace protest, say] would also have gotten-OK, AL?. My point is that this is an antagonistic & reactionary item [I never said it was made up-work on your comprehension skills]. If he were a citizen the nun's death would be OK? What about repeat offenders for DUI who ARE legal? That lessens the effect? This piece is slanted and bigoted. And AMY you have NO WAY OF KNOWING whether or not that nun would still be alive or if she wouldn't have perished within hours or weeks by some other tragedy.
There are many reasons why this President is a disappointment without hanging this on him [or even Bush].
The system needs an overhaul but that would take tax dollars to fix which you TP dimwits think is another sin. You can't say "fix it" without $
"If he were a citizen the nun's death would be OK?" .... Drew, were you seriously expecting anyone here to actually respond to that by saying "Yeah! That would make it ALL better if he were LEGAL." You actually went there, Drew.
Unfortunately for the rest of us, you didn't stop there. Oh, no.... you had to offer us another golden comment such as "you have NO WAY OF KNOWING whether or not that nun would still be alive or if she wouldn't have perished within hours or weeks by some other tragedy." Yes, Drew. Any of us can die at a moment's notice. Thank you SO MUCH for reminding us all that we could DIE at ANY moment! Oh, Drew...where would the rest of us be without YOU here to inform us of such things?!
@ June
Why is it that when some rich white kid gets drunk, climbs into his dad's SUV and kills somebody in a fatal crash the excuses pour out from everyone from clergy to lawyers to his parents-but if an illegal does the same he's a "moronic savage". Ohhh, it's because your a xenophobic racist. You prove my point that this crap peddled as a "news item" just feeds the trolls and dimwits and serves to exacerbate rather than fix the situation.
However, kudos to you T. Marie for putting a good and calm perspective on all of this. I wish I had your wisdom and patience. Bless you.
Send him back where he belongs, and all his friends and family with him. Enough, with illegal immigrants. Enough.
Montano being an illegal allien has everything to do with his conseqences, we dont know how the justice system in his country will handle this, he might just be set free????? He comes here brakes the law, kills an innocent person and then is finally (deported) will the family of his victom ever really know if justice is truely served????
@ drew
You really do make assinine comments. There are a minimum of 7 million felon invaders holding American jobs. There are an estimated million rapes and child molestations by invaders, as well as uncounted thousands of murders and killings of Americans by invaders. There are more millions of assaults, burlary, etc. None of these crimes would have been committed if our leaders for the last 24 years had followed their oaths of office. That includes our preseny incompetent as well as the 3 before him. Hoover, Truman and Eisenhower all deported millions of invaders during similar times of high unemployment, but not these present failures.
OK LETS ALL TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND REMEMBER ONE THING . HE BROKE OUR LAWS BY COMING INTO THIS COUNTRY ILLEAGALY !!! THERE FOR IS NOT AFFORDED THE SAME RIGHTS AS ANY CITIZEN OF THIS COUNTRY !! ANY & I MEAN ANY ILLEAGAL IMMAGRANT SHOULD BE DEPORTED YESTERDAY ! THIS COUNTRY HAS GONE SOFT AND WILL SUFFER GREAT DESPAIR UNLESS WE THE PEOPLE CHANGE ALL OF OUR WAYS !! WE HAVE ALL GOTTEN SO LAZY AND COMFORTABLE !! WE JUST SIT AROUND AND WAIT FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT OUR PROBLEMS !! GROW UP AMERICA AND GROW A SET OR WE WILL BE DEFEATED BY A BIGGER MORE RAVENOUS STATIST . DONT WE REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED IN SCHOOL ? THE NICE QUIET KIDS ALWAYS GOT PICKED ON THE MOST !!! SO LETS KEEP OUR MOUTHS SHUT SOME MORE & SEE WHERE WE AS A NATION END UP !
He was just killing the nuns that Americans wouldn't.
Screw Obama the states need to send the illigal aliens packing and soon how many more innocent Americans have to die.
racial profiling my ass Illegal immigrants come over here they dont pay taxes they dont pay insurance they don't pay for anything , we the people have to pay for everything . They commit crimes keep getting away with it I say screw Obama send them packing now.
