Reportedly, ICE has not picked up former fugitive and accused felon German Adriano Llangari Inga after his latest release from county custody.
Everyone knows where he is. The address for his current residence appears in numerous official court documents. He was (finally) arrested last weekend by county deputies at that address. The Star Tribune has tracked him down for an interview. Yet he remains at large.
Llangari Inga has been charged with three felonies and two gross misdemeanors arising from an August 2024 horror car crash where he allegedly killed a mother, and injured her teen daughter and sister, while drunk driving at night.
He was arrested and released without charges back in August, when Hennepin County chose not to honor a detainer lodged by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Llangari Inga, age 35, is an illegal immigrant from Ecuador. For eight days earlier this month, he was a fugitive from justice, which drew remarks from a White House spokesman and national media coverage (Fox News).
He was not charged in the August crash until early May. We’re told that the delay was on account of a four-month wait for the arrival of the official toxicology report. In the end, the much-delayed report merely repeated the information already available the night of the crash: Llangari Inga registered a 0.172 BAC. The final six months of the charging delay remain unexplained.
Llangari Inga was released (again) Tuesday night at 7:15 p.m. on a $100,000 bond, which typically requires only $10,000 in cash, up front. Your correspondent was the first to report his latest release, mere minutes after it occurred.
Fox 9 followed with a story on Wednesday night, where they provide the crucial details,
Court records show he was released from jail Tuesday night and is not in ICE custody, according to sources speaking to FOX 9’s Paul Blume.
FOX 9 was told, once again, that ICE filed a detainer for Inga, but it was not honored by Hennepin County Jail.
His next court date is set for 9 a.m. June 11, pushed back a day from the original date scheduled.
The Minneapolis Star Tribune published a piece this morning (Thursday), under the headline,
Twin Cities man targeted by ICE posts bail in fatal crash case, pledges to obey court’s conditions
Both soft-on-crime county prosecutor Mary Moriarty and the Star Tribune are more than willing to accept a former fugitive, illegal immigrant, accused felon’s word as his bond.
Color me skeptical.
