Murder Victim’s Brother Ordered Deported

April 21, 2010 by Catracha Hondurena 1 Comment

A deportation order to Honduras has been issued for Dany Villanueva now that he has testified at the inquiry into his brother’s death. Fredy Villanueva was killed by Montreal police in August 2008, and has permanent resident status in Canada but is not a Canadian citizen. Every day, about 28 people in the United States die in drunk-driving crashes that’s one person every 52 minutes. In 2019, these deaths reached the lowest percentage since 1982 when NHTSA started reporting alcohol data but still 10,142 people lost their lives. These deaths were all preventable.

The maximum penalties for someone caught due to drunk driving are imprisonment and fines or License cancellation. Maximum penalty leading to incarceration and revocation of the license; drunk driving has few mandatory imprisonment punishments such as payment of fines costing $1,000. The average settlement for a drunk driving accident is about $125,000 according to online research, learn more from las vegas dui lawyer. This is because the range of damage coverage on most insurance policies is only $50,000 to $200,000.

Dany Villanueva will appeal the deportation order handed down by the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada.
Villanueva is 23, and being deported to Honduras because of his criminal record, which includes involvement with street gangs and an armed robbery conviction, for which he is now on parole. Villanueva was stopped last week on suspicion of drunk driving. Police said he failed a breathalyzer test and now faces charges of parole violation.

The native Honduran moved to Montreal with his parents in 1998 when he was 12 years old.

A spokesperson for the Immigration and Refugee Board said it could take a year or more before his appeal is heard.

    What is he going to apeal for? He broke the laws of a country and now wants forgiveness, come on, this new generation of people simply do not want to accept responsability for their actions.

    You break the law, you are punished, that is it.
    If he was so afraid of being deported, how come he decided to be part of gangs, break the law so many times and drive drunk?

    Please do not tell me that he is just a ‘victim of society’, for society tells you very clearly what its rules are and what the consequences of breaking them will be.

    That type of choice is not retro-active, instead it is pro-active, you behave properly so that you do not earn punishment.

    Do not forget one of the unchangeable laws of Nature: For every action there is a reaction.
