U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has lodged a detainer in Pennsylvania for Yorgelis Alexandra Matos-Bravo, an illegal alien from Venezuela, who faces multiple charges after a hit-and-run incident injured a pre-teen boy in Charleroi on August 23.\n\nMatos-Bravo allegedly struck the child with a speeding vehicle and fled the scene, later returning and admitting to the incident after being convinced by her brothers. Charleroi Regional Police arrested her, and authorities said the boy is expected to survive his injuries.\n\nShe faces seven charges, including aggravated assault – victim less than 13, recklessly endangering another person, accident involving damage to a vehicle or property, disorderly conduct, reckless driving, careless driving, and speeding. DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin criticized the Biden Administration for her presence in the country and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker for issuing her a driver's license, calling it an \"avoidable crime.\"\n\nMatos-Bravo illegally entered the United States through Texas in July 2022. ICE lodged the detainer with the Washington County Jail on August 26, requesting officials not release her.
