Donald Trump's running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, will campaign in Council Bluffs on Monday.

The rally, at the Mid-America Center, starts at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 4 p.m.

While in the Bluffs, Pence will meet with the family of Sarah Root, who was killed Jan. 31 when the SUV she was driving was hit by a pickup truck driven by Eswin Mejia. Authorities say Mejia, a Honduran citizen who was in the United States illegally, was drunk and street racing when the crash occurred.

Mejia was charged with felony motor vehicle homicide, but he disappeared after posting 10 percent of his bail amount, or $5,000, and being freed from jail.

My cousin AND her husband were killed by an ILLEGAL several
years ago. They were parents of small children. - I don’t
know what has happened with the ILLEGAL. He was driving
drunk. - A few years ago, our driver’s license center was
just overflowing with Mexicans GETTING THOSE DRIVER’S
LICENSE before the new Republican state government was to
take charge and ruin their plans. I was there on business
which I could not get done because they were spilling out
onto the sidewalk. - Don’t know what ever happened to the
ILLEGAL ALIEN. - BEWARE!

I know UNMC is one of the best for liver transplants. Robert Redford’s son had one there years ago.
