ICE arrests undocumented Colombian teen and family after probation for deadly Aurora crash

The administration plans to deport the family after the 16-year-old was spared jail under sanctuary-county policies for killing a 24-year-old woman.

The 16-year-old undocumented immigrant from Colombia had been sentenced to probation and community service in connection with the July 2024 death of 24-year-old Kaitlyn Weaver in Aurora.

Overview

  • In July 2024 the teen drove at about 90 mph in a residential area, plowing into Kaitlyn Weaver’s car and killing the 24-year-old drug rehabilitation worker.
  • In May 2025 he accepted a plea deal of two years’ probation and 100 hours of community service from the Arapahoe County District Attorney’s Office.
  • On May 20 ICE arrested the 16-year-old and his undocumented family, and the teen remains in federal custody pending an immigration hearing.
  • White House policy chief Stephen Miller announced that the Trump administration will deport the entire family after their arrests.
  • Arapahoe County’s sanctuary-county status had limited cooperation with ICE detainers until federal agents intervened.
