Baby killed after illegal immigrant allegedly strikes family at grocery store parking lot

An illegal immigrant from Guatemala was charged with manslaughter after allegedly crashing into a mother and her two children, killing her 9-month-old son, in a New Jersey grocery store parking lot Friday, according to authorities.

A 9-month-old boy was pronounced dead at Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune after Maria Cobon-Guzman allegedly struck his mother and the baby carriage carrying him and his 5-year-old sister in the parking lot of a kosher grocery store in Jackson on Friday.

"An innocent baby would still be alive today had it not been for Joe Biden’s disastrous open border and reckless immigration policy that released countless illegal aliens into our country," a DHS spokesperson told Fox News Digital.

EXCLUSIVE: DHS ANNOUNCES NEW JERSEY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT ARRESTS AS NEWARK PROTESTS RAGE OUTSIDE FACILITY "We are urging the Ocean County Jail to honor ICE’s detainers on these two criminal illegal aliens to take them out of American communities once and for all," the spokesperson said of the Republican-friendly county in the otherwise blue state.

All three victims were transported to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune.

The mother and her five-year-old child remained hospitalized in stable condition, while the 9-month-old boy died.

Another woman, Ariadna Lazaro-Flores, was also charged in the incident after she reportedly allowed Cobon-Guzman to drive her car knowing she was unlicensed.

An inmate report listed Lazaro-Flores as charged with "endangering the welfare of an incompetent person." Both women illegally entered the U.S. during the Biden administration, with Lazaro-Flores doing so five times in October 2023 and being removed each time, DHS told Fox News Digital.

"She last illegally entered the United States through the Biden Administration’s open border at an unknown place and time," the agency said.

On July 31, an immigration judge issued an order of removal against her.

"New Jersey must honor ICE's detainers on these two criminal illegal aliens to take them out of American communities once and for all,"," the agency tweeted.
