福克斯新闻独家报道：一名非法移民涉嫌驾车撞人后逃逸，致使迈阿密-戴德县一名老年女子在家门外身受重伤，美国移民和海关执法局（ICE）敦促当地当局“与我们合作，不要将这名罪犯从监狱释放”。
据哥伦比亚广播公司（CBS）迈阿密分社报道，74岁的杰拉尔丁·伯德被邻居形容为“友善”且平易近人，在被当局称遭非法移民托马斯·雷蒙多·布里托驾车撞倒后，目前靠生命支持设备维持生命，情况危急。
该媒体报道称，布里托涉嫌在周日清晨于伯德家门外两次撞倒她。当时伯德正从车里下来准备打开自家大门，布里托驾驶的车辆撞上了伯德的车，导致伯德的车旋转后撞到她本人，随后布里托的卡车再次撞到她，将她困在车底。
据报道，邻居们被一声巨响惊醒。邻居克里斯蒂娜·迪亚兹告诉南佛罗里达NBC6频道：“我们能听到尖叫声，能听到所有人都在喊‘她在哪儿？哦，她在车底下。快打911。’”

这位邻居告诉媒体，伯德“总会在我女儿生日时送她礼物。所以她是个非常善良的女人。”另一位邻居弗洛尔·奥尔蒂斯用西班牙语告诉CBS迈阿密分社，她和伯德“语言不通，但我们总会互相打招呼。她是个好人。”
事发后，布里托据称下车逃离了现场。伯德的一名家属据称追上了他，并发现他躲在一间棚屋里。被捕后，布里托据称承认自己是肇事司机，并表示事发前喝了五瓶啤酒。
据国土安全部消息，伯德被空运至附近医院，目前仍靠生命支持设备维持生命，情况危急。
布里托被控犯有交通事故后逃逸致人重伤以及无照驾驶罪。

福克斯新闻数字频道获悉，布里托被捕当天，ICE就已向迈阿密-戴德特恩·吉尔福德·奈特惩教中心下达了拘押令。
据国土安全部消息，布里托以不明日期和地点非法进入美国，是危地马拉籍公民。
“这名来自危地马拉的非法移民罪犯因酒驾事故致一名74岁女子重伤被起诉，该女子目前在迈阿密-戴德县医院情况危急，”国土安全部部长马克韦恩·穆林在给福克斯新闻数字频道的一份声明中表示。
“他本就不该被允许进入我们的社区，踏上我们的街道，”穆林继续说道，并补充道，“ICE正在请求迈阿密-戴德县的官员与我们合作，不要将这名罪犯从监狱释放，并将他移交给ICE监管，以便我们将他驱逐出境。”
穆林补充道，“多亏了唐纳德·特朗普总统的强有力领导，ICE已被授权追查这类犯罪的非法移民，让美国再次恢复安全。”
迈阿密-戴德惩教和康复部的一名发言人向福克斯新闻数字频道证实，该部门已收到ICE的请求，布里托目前仍被关押。
该发言人告诉福克斯新闻数字频道：“迈阿密-戴德县会依法遵守这些拘押请求，将该人员关押法定的48小时时限。”
该发言人表示，“如果ICE未能在该时限内接管该人员，将依法释放该人员。”
“迈阿密-戴德县和迈阿密-戴德惩教和康复部会遵守所有关于移民拘押请求的适用法律，不会拒绝联邦当局提交的拘押请求，”该发言人补充道。

EXCLUSIVE: Illegal immigrant’s hit-and-run on ‘kind’ elderly woman triggers ICE action: ‘Could hear screaming’
Guatemalan national Tomas Raymundo Brito allegedly struck a 74-year-old woman twice, leaving her on life support

FIRST ON FOX:An illegal immigrant’s alleged hit-and-run that critically injured an elderly woman outside her Miami-Dade home prompted U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to urge local authorities to “cooperate with us and not release this criminal from jail.”
Seventy-four-year-old Geraldine Byrd, who neighbors described as “kind” and friendly, is on life support in critical condition after authorities say she was run over by illegal immigrant Tomas Raymundo Brito, according to CBS Miami.
The outlet reported that Brito allegedly struck Byrd twice outside her home early Sunday morning. Byrd had stepped out of her car to open her gate when Brito allegedly struck her vehicle, causing it to spin into Byrd before his truck allegedly struck her again, trapping her underneath the vehicle.
Neighbors were reportedly alerted to the crash by the sound of a loud boom. One neighbor, Kristina Diaz, told NBC 6 South Florida that “we could hear screaming, we could hear everybody yelling, ‘Where is she? Oh, she’s underneath the car. Call 911.’”

The same neighbor told the outlet that Byrd “would always send my daughter gifts for her birthday. So, she was a very kind woman.” Speaking in Spanish, another neighbor, Flor Ortiz, told CBS Miami that she and Byrd “do not speak the same language, but we always greet each other. She is a good person.”
After the incident, Brito allegedly got out of the truck and fled the scene. A family member of Byrd’s reportedly chased him down and found him hiding in a shed. After his arrest, Brito reportedly admitted he was the driver and said he drank five beers before the incident.
Byrd was airlifted to a nearby hospital and remains on life support in critical condition, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
Brito was charged with leaving the scene of a crash causing serious bodily injury and driving without a license.
ICE LODGES DETAINER FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT ACCUSED OF TRYING TO DISARM VIRGINIA POLICE OFFICER

Fox News Digital learned that ICE lodged a detainer with the Miami-Dade Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center the same day Brito was arrested.
Brito entered the U.S. illegally at an unknown date and location, according to DHS. He is a Guatemalan national.
“This criminal illegal alien from Guatemala is charged with hit-and-run after a drunk-driving accident that sent a 74-year-old woman to the hospital in critical condition in Miami-Dade County,” Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
“He should have never been allowed in our communities or on our streets,” Mullin continued, adding, “ICE is asking officials in Miami-Dade County to cooperate with us and not release this criminal from jail, and to turn him over to ICE custody so we can remove him from our country.”
Mullin added that “thanks to the strong leadership of President Donald Trump, ICE is unleashed to go after criminal illegal aliens like this one so that we can make America safe again.”
A spokesperson for the Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation Department confirmed with Fox News Digital that the department had received ICE’s request and that Brito is currently in custody.
The spokesperson told Fox News Digital that “Miami-Dade County honors these detainer requests in accordance with the law by holding the individual for the authorized 48-hour period.”
The spokesperson said that “if ICE does not take custody of the individual within that timeframe, the individual is released as required by law.”
“Miami-Dade County and the Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation Department comply with all applicable laws regarding immigration detainer requests and do not deny detainer requests submitted by federal authorities,” the spokesperson added.
