A previously deported illegal migrant who federal officials say was kicked out of the US four separate times admitted to a California hit-and-run that killed an 11-year-old boy, reigniting outrage over the state’s sanctuary laws and Gov. Gavin Newsom’s immigration policies.

Hector Amador Balderas, 44, pleaded guilty Friday to felony hit-and-run leading to the death of 11-year-old Aiden Antonio Torres De Paz. The crash happened in Escondido outside San Diego, on Nov. 26, 2025, the day before Thanksgiving.

“Hector Balderas-Aheelor was previously removed FOUR times before he chose to commit a felony and illegally re-enter the country a fifth time,” former DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said. “Gavin Newsom, we are calling on YOU to do the right thing and honor ICE’s arrest detainer.”
