Jose Manuel Cazarez-Pulido, a 33-year-old Mexican citizen, smashed into a motorcycle carrying a 71-year-old woman and a 64-year-old man in Waterford, Michigan, on July 1, 2026, critically injuring both. Cazarez-Pulido, who had been previously removed from the United States, was driving a Chrysler Town and Country van when he ran a red light and struck the motorcycle at the intersection of N. Hospital Road.
The incident led to Cazarez-Pulido’s arrest by Border Patrol Agents, who were called to assist the Waterford Police Department in identifying the suspect. Cazarez-Pulido was charged with illegal re-entry into the United States and appeared in federal court in Detroit, where he was temporarily detained pending a detention hearing.
The case has sparked outrage, with U.S. Attorney Jerome F. Gorgon, Jr. stating that illegal aliens continue to break American laws and threaten American lives. Acting Chief Patrol Agent Javier Geronimo, Jr. of the U.S. Border Patrol, Detroit Sector, emphasized the importance of securing the border and protecting communities from criminal activity.
Cazarez-Pulido’s actions have been condemned as part of a broader effort to combat illegal immigration and safeguard communities. The incident is a stark reminder of the dangers posed by illegal alien crime and the need for effective border security measures.
