Sanctuary state under fire for granting license to illegal alien who allegedly killed young girl with car
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
FIRST ON FOX: An illegal alien released into the country by the Obama administration who was provided a driver’s license by a sanctuary state and was eventually ordered to be deported was arrested earlier this month for allegedly killing an 8-year-old girl in a fatal car crash in Boise, Idaho.
Elvin Elgardo Ramos-Caballero was driving a pickup truck legally via a driver’s license granted to him by the state of Oregon and was attempting to make a right-hand turn at an intersection in Boise Nov. 11.
As he was attempting to make the turn, 8-year-old Mora Gerety was also attempting to cross the street. She was struck and killed, according to authorities.
At the time of the incident, Ramos-Caballero had an outstanding federal warrant with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for his failure to appear for an immigration hearing, which resulted in a judge ordering him to be removed from the country in absentia in May 2019.

“Eight-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 Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.
“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 policies have turned every community into a border town. These policies have deadly consequences.”
Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., called for a federal crackdown on sanctuary state policies that allow illegal immigrants to obtain commercial drivers licenses during an interview with Fox News Digital this week.
Donalds’ call came after a joint ICE and Oklahoma Highway Patrol operation arrested 70 illegal immigrants, including 34 accused of driving big rigs while in the U.S. unlawfully.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CAUGHT DRIVING COMMERCIAL TRUCK WITH VALID NEW YORK CDL AT CALIFORNIA CHECKPOINT
A tragic incident earlier this summer led to three deaths after an illegal immigrant who received his commercial driver’s license (CDL) from the state of Washington, which was granted after failing his CDL 10 times in just two months, allegedly made an illegal U-turn on the highway in Florida.
Bodycam footage of the location after the incident showed the driver had limited English proficiency even though the company in Washington state that trained the illegal immigrant driver for his CDL attested that he could speak English.
Donalds said the Oklahoma Highway Patrol investigation and incidents like what happened in Florida underscore a growing national safety risk.
“You have the American people, they’re doing the right thing, and now they’re subject to losing their lives or being in an auto accident with a CDL driver who cannot read our signs, who doesn’t know our laws,” he said.

“This is one of the reasons why I sponsored the WEIGH Act here in D.C.,” Donalds explained. “It would actually give broader authority for the Department of Transportation to not just hold other states accountable that are letting these CDL licenses be issued, but would also give the Department of Treasury the ability to withhold federal funds in the process.”

Sold-Out SF Marathon 2026: The Races, Routes and Road Closures (Plus How to Watch It All) | KQED
Everything you need to know about the 2026 San Francisco Marathon weekend on July 25-26, including the route, the road closures and whether it’s too late to sign up.

Keep reading for the 2026 SF Marathon route, which streets will be closed, where to find public transit changes and how to watch from the sidelines if you’re a spectator.
We’ll also give an overview of all the weekend’s events and races themselves if you’re feeling spontaneously athletic (or want to meet people) and decide to sign up for a race at short notice.
And important to flag — several of these races now allow dogs.
Jump straight to:
What is the SF Marathon route, and when are the races?
The 26.2-mile main event — the full SF Marathon — is on Sunday, July 26. The full marathon starts at 5:15 a.m. on Embarcadero Street at Market Street and finishes on Embarcadero Street at Howard Street.
You can check out a map of the entire course on SF Marathon’s Strava account, which also includes elevation levels and first aid/water stops.
Is it really too late to sign up for the full marathon and 1st half marathon?
Yes, the full marathon — and the popular 1st half marathon over the Golden Gate Bridge — are both sold out.
According to officials, the spots went out “faster than ever” this year. But you can still join the waitlist and hope for the best.
“Spots do open up,” the website reads. “Plans change, runners defer, and entries become available again. When they do, the right wait list is the best way to secure yours.”
What are my other options for races around the SF Marathon that weekend?
Your other options for races during the SF Marathon weekend that are still accepting sign-ups include:
The City Half Marathon (Sunday)
This is the race where you get to run through San Francisco’s neighborhoods. It’s 13.1 miles with a 3.5-hour time limit and starts at 8:30 a.m. from MLK Jr. Drive at Golden Gate Park to Embarcadero at Howard.
Race fee:$303.74
The Alexi Pappas SFM 10K (Sunday)
This race is named after the Bay Area’s own Olympian Pappas and is a flat 6.2 miles that starts at 7 a.m. from The Embarcadero at Market Street to the Embarcadero near Washington Street. Dogs are now welcome for this race.
Race fee: $164.04
5K race (Saturday option)
This 5k allows your dog to run with you along the Embarcadero waterfront. Starting at 8 a.m, this is a 3.1-mile course with an hour limit.
Race fee: $120.04
5K race (Sunday option)
Dogs are also allowed at this Embarcadero waterfront race, but the race isn’t a loop like the Saturday option, instead starting at The Embarcadero at Market St. and ending at Embarcadero at Washington Street. This 3.1-mile race starts at 9 a.m. and has an hour limit.
Race fee: $118.94
Looking for something more family-friendly and chill? There is Sebastian’s 1K Mad Dash on Saturday, which is a little under a mile. It starts at 9 a.m., starting and finishing at Embarcadero and Washington. The race fee is $28.75.
If you can’t make it to San Francisco, you can join the race virtually by registering on the SF Marathon’s app. It’s $110.15 to join, and you’ll need to download the SF Marathon tracking app to follow your progress.
Which streets will be closed to cars and public transit for the SF Marathon?
The SF Marathon website breaks down which city streets will be closed for races at what time, along with some recommended detours.
There will be closures along The Embarcadero, Fisherman’s Wharf and in the Marina District. However, rest assured that vehicle traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge, which is on the route, will remain open in both directions throughout the marathon.
A lot of SF Muni lines will also be rerouted due to marathon weekend events.
SFMTA has not yet updated its guidance for this year, but you can peek at the 2025 list of route alterations, changes and closures to get a sense of what’s to come.
Where can I cheer the SF Marathon runners on?
Are you a good friend cheering on a runner? Make sure you know which race they are running in, and then look at the above section to check out the times and routes.
You can also track a runner’s progress using the SF Marathon app using a bib number.
Where can I find my pictures and results after the race?
Participants will have their pictures emailed to them a few days after the event — or on the race results and photos page on the SF Marathon website.
I need to bail. Can I defer my SF Marathon registration until next year?
Bailing? The people on the waitlist will thank you!
You can defer your registration to next year for a $39 fee, and the last day to do so is July 24. (That’s also the last day to convert your in-person race into a virtual one, if your plans have unexpectedly changed.)
Keep in mind that registration is nontransferable, and you cannot give or sell your bib to someone else.
What will the weather be like in San Francisco for the marathon?
Check the weather forecast again before you head out, as San Francisco weather can turn on a dime — and keep in mind that the National Weather Service forecasts the weather a week out.
Historically, the temperature around the courses is usually around 64°F, according to the SF Marathon website.
Whether you’re planning to participate in a race or just spectate, be sure to drink plenty of water well before going out.
You can also be strategic about how to combat heat by cooling your body’s pulse points, such as your neck, inside your elbows, and behind your knees, to bring quick relief. In case things get toasty, KQED has a thorough guide on how to stay safe during a heat wave.
The full marathon has 14 hydration stations, which include water, electrolytes, medical assistance, and toilets. The SF Marathon encourages runners to bring refillable water bottles that are 50 gallons or less.
What’s the best way of traveling to the SF Marathon starting line that morning?
If you’re trying to get to the race for the full marathon’s 5:15 a.m. start time on Sunday, remember: BART service does not start early enough to get you there, and you’ll miss your race.
Instead, the SF Marathon will have shuttles from six BART stations to get you to the starting line. There is free parking at BART stations, and buses will run very early in the morning. Times are subject to change, but the list of BART stations with shuttles is currently:
- Bay Fair (San Leandro) at 3:50 a.m.
- Daly City at 4:05 a.m.
- El Cerrito Plaza at 4:05 a.m.
- MacArthur at 4:05 a.m.
- Millbrae at 4:05 a.m.
- Walnut Creek at 3:55 a.m.
Buses aim to arrive by 4:30 a.m. at the Main Start Line on the Embarcadero. You’ll need to purchase your bus ticket ahead of time, though.
For most food manufacturers, it makes more financial sense to bake, brew, cook or create their product somewhere where the square footage is a little less expensive, like a business park, and to sell it where the rent – and the foot traffic – is higher.
Kent Beidel, who owns a string of mountain-town ice cream parlors called Sundae, did the opposite when he opened his newest and, by far, his biggest location in downtown Denver.
“We wanted to be right in front of people and hear them say, ‘Oh my god, they make the ice cream right here,’” he explained. “It’s backward … it’s hard. But it’s unique, and it’s really cool.”
Sundae opened in early June in a 5,100-square-foot space that includes a retail shop, a waffle cone-making “theater” where people can watch the staff turn out fresh cones, a pint-mixing classroom and a commercial kitchen – visible to customers on three sides through glass windows – that could one day supply multiple stores around Denver.
Beidel is betting those attributes will help the business stand apart from the competition in Denver, where there are already several big names making and selling scoops in multiple locations.
But that’s not the only gamble he took. Sundae is located on Sixteenth Street, the 44-year-old pedestrian mall that has become both a symbol of the city’s urban decay since the pandemic and a beacon of hope for its future after a $175 million renovation.
“Sixteenth Street is interesting,” said Beidel, who has watched it change over the past year since he first signed his lease at 1600 Glenarm Place. “It’s coming back. It still has a way to go, but we are seeing momentum start to build. Even in the last month, the foot traffic and the feeling downtown has perked up. … We are getting great feedback.”
To help, the Denver Downtown Development Authority — as part of a much larger business incentive plan — loaned Sundae $750,000. “It’s a loan,” he said. “We have to pay it back. … But we couldn’t have done this location without that support.”
Beidel has been in the food business for 22 years. Before ice cream, he was the founder of Loaded Joe’s, a restaurant and coffee shop staple in Vail. But in 2016, he sold Loaded Joe’s and took over two former Marble Slab Creamery locations in Vail and Edwards, rebranding them as Sundae. In 2020, he opened a third shop in Glenwood Springs.
“That was our first chance to build from scratch and decide what it should look like,” he explained, adding that Glenwood, which includes a kitchen, eventually began making ice cream for Sundae’s next two locations in Basalt and Snowmass.
To make the ice cream, Beidel said he employs five pastry chefs to create recipes. So, rather than using cheesecake flavoring, for instance, for cheesecake ice cream, Sundae uses all the same ingredients you would use to make real cheesecake.
The cheesecake, by the way, is among Beidel’s favorite flavors, but Salted Cookies & Cream and Caramelized Banana are two of the most popular with customers. Classic chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry are also top sellers – “and always will be,” he added.
Next month, Beidel hopes to open the classroom, where people can learn how to make ice cream and then whip up some of their own flavors to take home. And down the road, he plans to open more locations.
But in the meantime, he’s focused on downtown. “Let’s say Denver does really become vibrant again. We have a great product and a great following in the mountains. So, it’s just a matter of time down here.”

Looking Ahead:
Temperatures will continue to warm for western Washington through midweek, before we see another low pressure system swing inland Thursday. This low will increase changes of showers and isolated thunderstorms on Thursday, and temperatures will be back to normal for this time of year. This cool down is short-lived as high pressure builds again and highs warm back up into the 80s by the weekend.
