A woman who identified herself as Alianiss Nunez Morales was driving a van that failed to stop at a stop sign, hitting a school bus, police say. MINNEAPOLIS — A woman who authorities say is in the country illegally and using an alias was charged Friday with four counts of criminal vehicular homicide and two lesser charges in a school bus crash that killed four children.
A woman who identified herself as Alianiss Nunez Morales, 23, of Minneota, was driving a van that failed to stop at a stop sign Tuesday before hitting a bus carrying 28 students from Lakeview School, Lyon County Attorney Richard Maes said. The accident happened near the small town of Cottonwood, in southwestern Minnesota.
Morales was also charged with a stop sign violation and for driving without a valid license, Maes said.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are trying to figure out the woman's true identity. Claude Arnold, ICE special agent in charge of investigations, said his agency believes Morales is an illegal immigrant. ICE has filed paperwork to detain her for deportation proceedings after the criminal case is resolved.
"The only name we have for her is the name she gave us when she was booked," Arnold said, adding that the woman told

Was she “driving a van that failed to stop” in the same way that the “shooter held a gun that shot the victim?”
but they are performing the vehicular homicides that normal Americans won’t do.
The Lib PIONEER PRESS headline this morning reported she was an “ILLEGAL WORKER”, not an “ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT”!
You should correct your post........
just an un-witting passenger in a crazed van bent on killing children.
Obama is right about driver’s licenses for illegals; if she only had been issued a MN Driver’s license instead of a MN ID card we would be more sure of who she really is.
Oh wait, she would have just used the same phony ID she used to get the MN ID card to get a driver’s license.
Nevermind.
What is maddening is that she was stopped after another accident in 2006 and later was convicted of driving without a license. Why didn’t the local authorities contact ICE then as she apparently had no evidence of being in the US legally? This would appear to be another case of local authorities not enforcing US immigration laws.
Alieness... There, fixed it!
Exactly! Where were the police in her first traffic infraction?
If government were doing its job, then employers would not be forced into being unpaid policemen.
Between this and the Somali disaster, you would think Minnesota would be ripe for a right-wing takeover.
In Mexico, an ALTO sign means, if traffic is coming...you STOP. I’ve never met anyone ever that got a traffic violation ticket in Mexico for failing to stop at an ALTO sign.

And you think that the average employer cares if their employees are illegal?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Until I retired recently and sold my business, I was an employer. I cared.
Ok...So many employers do care.
If these employers find a false SS# do you think the police will show up to arrest that illegal sitting in his human resource office?
If the police would do just that much, a LOT of illegals would be OUT of this country within the week! Do you think illegals would be as willing to risk taking a chance, particularly if they did not know if the employer would call the police or not?
If the police would do their job, employers would have a lot less hard time of it!
“agents are trying to figure out the woman’s true identity.”
Huh? She refuses to give her true identity? Hellooo! Does ‘waterboarding’ ring a bell?
