The construction company was hired by the Florida department of transportation, a state agency. They are probably given no bid contracts from DeSantis.
The contractor needs to be fined, sued, and put out of business. It's also a black eye on the State and their vetting process for taking bids. There's a reason why "cheapest" isn't always "best." So the State Transportation Dept. has _some_ culpability, but in this case it's ancillary. There needs to be criminal and civil penalties for the contractor if the State has any laws that cover this situation.
The company that owns the construction company is the 11th largest contractor in the nation. They probably get no-bid contracts handed to them from DeSantis
So...did he purposely run down the cop? I don't understand how this happened. Construction vehicles don't move very fast. About the speed of a school zone. Was the cop standing in the road? Did he not see a huge Construction vehicle coming toward him? I don't understand how this happened.
God bless the family of the Deputy who passed in this horrendous accident. My prayers are with you all. Thank you Mike for your service to our community. You will be missed, loved, and appreciated. God bless. ❤
Charge the business owner of these employees too, he knew they were illegals! My grandparents are from Mexico and Honduras legally. I’m disgusted what is happening with all these illegals entering and we as Citizens have to pay for this. There are thousands who do the right thing by applying for entrance to our country that have been waiting for years, it’s not fair! I’m so sorry for this officer to lose his life like this, prayers to his family and friends.
The guy could of been legal and had the same accident. I blame it on the contractor for hiring someone that had iffy qualifications of running heavy equipment. Probably has been doing it for years. The illegals were arrested, but nothing happened to the contractor. Maybe a lawsuit brought by the family is coming.
@@rncine true, yeah, being illegal made the cops job a lot tougher. if he had gotten away, they would of never found him. He probably would of went back to mexico.
Who owns Archer Western Construction? The Walsh Group The Walsh Group is a 120-year-old family-owned company providing design, build, finance, operation and activation services. The Walsh Group operates as Walsh Construction, Archer Western and Walsh Canada across 18 regional offices, and is listed as the 11th largest U.S. contractor per Engineering News-Record.
They know better, getting filthy rich off the backs of illegals, if they didn't employ them they wouldn't come, this company needs some severe consequences and they aren't the only ones
It is worth charging them because you'll have record of it with their real identity if they get caught again for a heinous crime so they won't have to give bogus birth dates/names.
My condolences to the family & the the police family ❤️🥀 it makes me angry that this illegal was working for this company that didn't even bother to check this illegal out. He had no license to operate this dangerous machine 😠 & I believe the company should be held liable for their stupidity. All companies that hire these ppl for cheap labor are completely responsible. That illegal needs to pay for running away from the scene of an accident & causing the death of this officer. Justice needs to be done for the sake of the family. The children are w/o a father & a wife w/o a husband ,not to mention the parents.😪 And everyone who knew this officer. Put these man in prison & the company that hired him should pay for their stupidity, all these companies need to be held accountable for hiring these illegals because their just as guilty . It's sad that these companies are only looking for profit instead of the welfare & safety of ppl moving around working areas . You just can't put someone even kid on these dangerous machine's. I pray the family hire a good lawyer & drain that company 😠😠
Your supposed to get out of the way of giant front loaders. What the heck is he walking around in the dark? Was the cop wearing reflection vest etc.? The driver being illegal has nothing to do with the accident. The company has a serious problem and should not be allowed to do any government work anymore and be charged $10k for every worker they can not proof having a work permit. How is the state allowing this? They are working on a government job. Cop running around in the dark is a different issue.
The U.S. construction industry, like agriculture and manufacturing, has a reputation for relying on undocumented workers. That’s mostly because legal workers simply aren’t available, and cost much more to employ when they are. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is tasked with ensuring that employers maintain complete I-9 records, and the agency conducts audits throughout the year. In 2018, the number of audits rose to 5,981 from 1,360 the year before, according to the National Law Review. In July, 3,282 audits were noticed within three weeks. Targeted industries include hospitality, agriculture, food processing, landscaping, and construction. Despite the increased threat of a crackdown, a massive shortage of skilled workers is making it difficult for some contractors to adhere to federal hiring requirements. Some businesses are able to bring workers into the country via H-2B visas, attorney Chad Blocker, a partner in the Los Angeles office of Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy LLP, that those visas are designated for seasonal industries like landscaping and hospitality. A federal judge in California sentenced contractor Job Torres Hernandez to almost nine years in prison for forcing some undocumented individuals to work on projects in the San Francisco Bay Area and keeping others locked in a warehouse during their off hours. The warehouse had no sanitary facilities, and prosecutors said Torres threatened workers if they didn’t continue to work or if they complained to anyone about their living conditions. Attorney Samuel Newbold, chair of the immigration law group at Chiesa Shahinian & Giantomasi PC in New York, stated that there has been resistance on the part of trade unions to the idea of a visa that would allow construction workers to enter the U.S. on a legal, temporary basis. In addition, laws related to undocumented workers vary from state to state.
Why did you close down all the roads causing kaos for commuters??? If this accident happened to a regular person you would not have done what you did. The sheriffs dept. always goes to extreem when it's one of theirs, like crazy outlaws, Rabid dogs, breaking rules & Laws to hunt down their Pery!!! A cop is just another person, not some SUPER HERO!!!
They werent there for the immigration....they were there on traffic detail...and that guy panicked and ran him over ???? Is that what happened ?????. How sad 😭
My heart breaks for the family of the officer, with that being said…. There are thousands of companies hiring these people. That’s what they need to crack down on. If the Governor would crack down on them, they wouldn’t come to Florida. His (DeSantis) priorities are jacked up!
DeSantis is fine, this is Biden's Immigration Policy. The Local Law Enforcement does not have authority to enforce Immigration, why do you think DeSantis is shipping them to Martha's Vineyard and other Sanctuary Cities. As a lifelong Pinellas County resident my heart goes out to all affected, however if any one entity is to be responsible it should be on the Biden Administration Immigration Policy. Look around this is happening all over the country.
I'm sure they'll be an investigation by DeSantis, and hopefully the State Legislature will do something about this to protect the citizens of Florida, so another family will not have to go through this. RIP officer, and may your family find some measure of comfort as the community rallies around them in their time of great loss.
Are you stupid or something? It's the federal governments job to deal with immigrants, this jackass administration is just letting anyone and everyone walk into our country without going thru the process, there's only so much the state government can do. I can't believe there are people as ignorant as you are
You should be scared dumbazz --- The Moral of the story IS : "DONT RUN " !!!!!! Your going to get caught one way or another 🤣🤣🤣👍👍. Love our L.E.O's 🇺🇸💚✌️✝️
This is sad and unfortunate. However how could any sane person think that it is reasonable for someone that accidently killed another to serve 40 years in prison? There should for sure be penalties for hit and run, but 40 years? That is the most unjust thing I have ever heard of.
First of all it was an accident, but why would he run? The guy lift the scene didn't bother to seek aid , second he ran from the scene, third he was fixing to run to another state & probably high trailing to Mexico where no one could find him & probably come back after it cooled down under another name Scott free . That's what they do . We had five teenagers killed by an illegal under the influence &he high trailed it back to Mexico got away with murdering those kids . I believe forty yr.s fit's the crime. But we all know that won't happen because ppl like you say it's to harsh give this Murderer ten hah? , well buddy what if that had been your father? ?? Would you still think it was a harsh punishment?

Illegals? Imagine that. That construction company needs to be fined
They will just hire more to recover costs
The construction company was hired by the Florida department of transportation, a state agency. They are probably given no bid contracts from DeSantis.
That's pretty dehumanising language
You need to go after the contractors
Exactly
Nope, go after the people who hired them. They were contracted by the Florida department of transportation, a state agency. Start at the top.
The contractor needs to be fined, sued, and put out of business. It's also a black eye on the State and their vetting process for taking bids. There's a reason why "cheapest" isn't always "best." So the State Transportation Dept. has _some_ culpability, but in this case it's ancillary. There needs to be criminal and civil penalties for the contractor if the State has any laws that cover this situation.

RIP Sir
take a drink every time he hits the table after gesturing with his hands
Deputy is at fault using a computer while driving
Stop the job.abd check them all out.
Prayers to his family this should not have happened
It's ridiculous that law enforcement can't at least hold someone if they're here illegally. That most definitely needs to be changed.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family🙏🏼
Blame the state for hiring them. I like your reporting better than that other sheriff. He’s a showboat.
God bless this family. What a travesty on all levels.
Because he is illegal you presume accident was his fault. WRONG! DID OFFICER HAVE SAFETY VEST ON?

If the company does not even check driver's licenses they should be in big trouble.
It's a piece of construction equipment, not a vehicle.
