Indian man, Aman Kumar, arrested by ICE after being released by California in a hit-and-run case.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Aman Kumar, an Indian man who was charged in a hit-and-run case, for living in the US illegally and yet the state of California released him from jail. Aman Kumar was arrested in April after he fatally shot a four-year-old boy in Fresno, California on April 28, 2026. He was arrested the next day by the Fresno Sheriff’s Department and charged with aggravated hit and run: death or injury. The Department of Homeland Security claimed that California sanctuary politicians illegally released the criminal from prison, but ICE arrested Kumar on May 13 outside the California Superior Court, County of Fresno.“This monster, who almost killed a 4-year-old boy, has been charged with aggravated hit and run,” said Acting Assistant Secretary of State Lauren Biss. “Sanctuary politicians in California released this criminal illegal alien from prison back onto the streets. Thanks to the brave men and women of ICE law enforcement, this criminal illegal alien was arrested outside a criminal court. DHS is calling on Governor Gavin Newsom and his fellow California sanctuary politicians to stop the threat to American life by releasing criminals into our communities to commit more crimes and hurt more innocent people. Stop pouring in.”DHS claimed Kumar entered the United States illegally in California in 2023 and was released by the Biden administration.The hit-and-run occurred on April 28 at around 8 p.m. The four-year-old boy was playing on a swing set at home but wandered onto the road crossing his courtyard. Many drivers stopped to avoid hitting the child, but Kumar swerved into the bike lane in an attempt to bypass traffic and ultimately hit the victim. He stopped for a while and then walked away quickly. The boy was hospitalized and is expected to survive.“ICE did what FPD couldn’t do and put him back behind bars; he will now face immigration proceedings,” ICE said.
