A top senator’s assistant is currently accused of killing a citizen from the United States. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV ) in a fatal hit-and-run car crash in Washoe County, Nevada.
Elmer Rueda-Linares, an 18-year-old illegal alien, has been arrested by the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office and charged with the death of 38-year-old Kurt Englehart — a father and a state senior adviser to Cortez Masto.
When Rueda-Linares crashed into Englehart on April 6, authorities suspect, he subsequently fled the scene. When officers arrived, Rueda-Linares was nowhere to be found, while Englehart was found deceased inside his car.
Rueda-Linares was immediately accused of criminal hit-and-run, but that offense has since been reduced to one count of failing to stop at the scene of an accident.
On Wednesday, the Reno Gazette-Journal revealed that Reuda-Linares is an illegal alien who just arrived at the United States-Mexico borders and was released into the nation’s inside:
On April 8, federal officers placed an immigration detainer— or “ICE hold ” — on Rueda-Linares, who is being held at Washoe County Jail, the Department of Homeland Security told the RGJ in a statement Tuesday.
[Emphasis added]…
“Rueda entered the United States March 12, 2021, at or near the Rio Grande City, Texas, Port of Entry without assessment by an immigration official, ” DHS said. He was detained by United States Customs and Border Protection on June 22, 2021, and he was eventually released on his own custody. ” [Emphasis added]
The same month that Rueda-Linares crossed the southern border, Cortez Masto told MSNBC that “There’s no empty borders ” and suggesting but is “misinformation. ”
CATHERINE CORTEZ MASTO, March 2021:” there’s no available borders. “
FACT: There have been 4. 4 million improper bridges since Biden took office, including 850,000 “gotaways” who have crossed the border and escaped into the U. S. photograph. tweets. com/9j9OhiY0pt

In an article, Englehart is described as a “skilled political strategist ” who not only worked for Cortez Masto but even former President Barack Obama’s 2012 presidential campaign.
“Kurt loved reading, history, philosophy, dystopian worlds, rural America, and playing League of Legends and World of Warcraft, where he forged some significant friends, ” Englehart’s obituary reads.
Rueda-Linares will appear in court this week and remains in Washoe County Jail on a$ 100,000 bail.
