Joe Abraham’s daughter, Katie, was tragically killed in a car accident caused by an undocumented driver, Julio Cucul-Bol, who was operating a vehicle illegally and under the influence of alcohol. The collision occurred on January 19, 2025, when Cucul-Bol, a Guatemalan national in the U.S. illegally, struck Katie’s car at speeds exceeding 80 mph. Despite the severity of the crash, Cucul-Bol fled the scene without providing aid, leaving Katie’s family to confront the harrowing reality of her death. Following the incident, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has initiated an operational effort to address immigration enforcement and honor Katie’s legacy, highlighting the need for strict adherence to immigration laws to prevent such tragedies. The family has criticized Illinois’ sanctuary policies, which they believe have contributed to the risk of such incidents, and is calling for reforms and stricter immigration controls to ensure public safety. The family emphasizes the importance of prevention over post-hoc measures, urging policymakers to prioritize safety over political considerations.
