A dad accused of leaving his 6-year-old son to die in a car in a California heat wave was an illegal immigrant out on bail after a recent arrest, according to authorities — who blame the state’s sanctuary laws for the child’s demise.

Briant Reyes Estrada, 27, pleaded not guilty to murder and child abuse charges Wednesday after his son succumbed to heat-related injuries in Paso Robles last weekend, according to cops.

“I am angry this boy died so unnecessarily. And I am even more incensed to learn this child’s death could have been prevented,” San Luis Obispo District Attorney Dan Dow said on X.

The dad is accused of leaving the child to melt in the car in the parking lot of the Paso Robles Inn last Saturday as temperatures soared to roughly 99 degrees.

Reyes Estrada eventually rushed the boy to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, cops said.
