An 8-year-old girl was killed in a hit-and-run crash in Boise, Idaho, by an illegal immigrant from Honduras who had been allowed to remain in the country for nearly a decade despite a deportation order.
Ramos-Caballero, 39, was able to obtain a driver’s license from the neighboring sanctuary state of Oregon, which allowed him to “legally” operate the vehicle that killed the young girl, Mora Gerety.
The incident occurred on November 11, just before 4:45 p.m., at the intersection of North Harrison Boulevard and West Ada Street.
Gerety, a student at Washington Elementary School, was crossing the street when the pickup truck driven by Ramos-Caballero hit her.
The illegal alien fled the scene, not rendering any aid to the child.
Gerety was rushed to St. Luke’s Boise Medical Center, where she succumbed to multiple blunt force injuries despite lifesaving efforts.
Ramos-Caballero was arrested the same day and charged with hit-and-run resulting in death. He was subsequently taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
According to a press release from the Department of Homeland Security, “This illegal alien was given a license by the sanctuary state of Oregon. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested Ramos-Caballero on November 11, 2025. Ramos-Caballero illegally entered the U.S. in September 2015 and was released into the country by the Obama administration. He never showed up for his immigration hearing and was ordered removed in absentia on May 9, 2016.”
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin blasted the situation in a statement.
“8-year-old Mora Gerety’s precious life was taken by an illegal alien who should have never been in our country, let alone issued a driver’s license by the sanctuary state of Oregon,” said McLaughlin.
McLaughlin continued, “Mora Gerety’s classmates, teachers, friends, and our nation will carry this loss forever. We ask every American to lift this family up in prayer and we ask God to grant them the courage as they face the hardest days a family can endure. Decades of open border polices have turned every community into a border town. These policies have deadly consequences.”
DHS added in its press release about the case that it is “committed to protecting American communities every day from another senseless tragedy like this taking place in another town, to another family. Victims of illegal alien crime may receive support from the Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE) Office by contacting 1-855-488-6423.”
Two scholarship funds have been launched in Mora’s honor.
