Hawley Introduces “Travis’s Law” to Commemorate Missouri Boy, Protect More Americans from Criminal Illegal Aliens
Jan. 15, 2025"Today, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) introduced “Travis’s Law” to honor the legacy of Missouri’s 12-year-old Travis Wolfe—who was killed in a head-on collision by a criminal illegal alien—and prevent other criminal illegal aliens from roaming free.
Travis was killed by Endrina Bracho, an illegal alien who was driving in the wrong direction at more than double the posted speed limit. Bracho was charged with six criminal counts, including first-degree involuntary manslaughter and operating a vehicle on a highway without a valid license. But just last month, a judge released Bracho after reducing her bond pending a future trial. She was then detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)."
