The van driver arrested in connection with a close call with a school bus last week in Rensselaer County is being held by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The leader of Rensselaer County is voicing outrage that two days after the driver’s arrest and with no license, he drove himself to the ICE office.

Video shows a school bus stopped on Route 7 in Pittstown Tuesday. The doors open, then quickly shut, just as a white van comes barrelling through on the shoulder.

The van went on to hit a truck going in the opposite direction, before veering off the road.

A 12-year-old girl was just about to get off her school bus. Brunswick-Brittonkill bus driver Barry Sullivan stopped her from going out.

Angel Pandiguana Pachar, 22, is charged with reckless endangerment and reckless driving.

He is in the country illegally and was driving with no license, said investigators.

He was released on an appearance ticket.

“This is not anything to do with Rensselaer County,” said Rensselaer County Executive Steve McLaughlin. “If it was up to us, he’d still be sitting in jail. But we are bound by the laws of this state, and the laws of this state are a mess.”

Rensselaer County Sheriff Kyle Bourgault said Monday he spoke with ICE Thursday and Pachar did turn himself in to them and was being held in Batavia, NY.

That was two days after his arrest in Pittstown, and Pachar drove himself there, authorities said.

“We are still amazed the Governor has not made a statement condemning this incident on Route 7 and acknowledging the life of a young girl was nearly taken because of failed open borders and bail reform policies,” McLaughlin said Monday afternoon.

“This is a failure of law, as demonstrated by the information we received that the illegal migrant ignored the fact he had no driver’s license and drove himself to a required appearance with ICE at the local office. It shows a disregard for the safety of others and a disregard for our laws. This is a clear risk to public safety and the failed open borders and bail reform policies need to be repealed immediately,”

Pachar is due in Pittstown Town Court Thursday evening, but if he’s being held by ICE, he’s not likely to be at that appearance.
