A woman who drove her large car into two young teenagers because of their race has been imprisoned for 25 years.
Nicole Poole Franklin steered her SUV onto a curb and struck a 12-year-old black boy in Des Moines, Iowa, later saying she ran him over because "he's just like ISIS", "he's not supposed to be there" and "he's going to take me out."
The boy luckily escape with just leg injuries.
Less than an hour later, the 43-year-old hit 14-year-old Latina girl Natalia Miranda as she was walking on a path, landing her in hospital for two days.
Police said Franklin told them she targeted the girl because she was "Mexican", she was taking over "our homes and our jobs" and "wasn't supposed to be in the country," a court filing reported.
Franklin fled after both crashes and was later arrested after going to a gas station where she called an employee and customers racial slurs.
Earlier this year Franklin was sentenced to 25.5 years, to serve a minimum of 17.5, on state attempted murder charges.
This week she was sentenced to 25 years at a separate federal trial.
While the prison terms will run concurrently, because Franklin cannot apply for parole on the latter, her sentence is effectively elongated.
Franklin had pleaded guilty to two federal hate crime charges in May.
In a hearing before the sentencing the 14-year-old's dad, Cesar Miranda, said he always told his kids they were lucky to live in the US and be free.
He forgave Franklin but said he had been left fearing being hit by a car while out on the street.
"My hope disappeared," Mr Miranda told the Des Moines register.
"My belief that I was free in this country was gone."
He added: "I hope you change because human beings can never live like this."
In a sentencing memo pleading for leniency, Franklin's lawyer Joseph Herrold said she had a long history of mental illness.
The defendant had received diagnoses of schizoaffective disorder, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder, Mr Herrold said.
“As she entered adulthood, struggling with mental illness, substance use problems, unstable housing, and poverty, Ms. Poole Franklin began having problems with the law,” he wrote, the New York Times reported.
