Agents from the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested a Mexican national who had previously been deported after being convicted of deliberate homicide.
Agents from ICE Dallas Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Fugitive Operations and ERO Special Response arrested 53-year-old Carlos Ambriz near his Oklahoma home on March 25. According to a Monday ICE release, he was illegally in the country and had previously been sentenced to 40 years in prison for the deliberate murder of his child.
“This subject’s criminal record underscores the significant danger he represents to our community, particularly with the serious charge and conviction for killing his own child,” ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Dallas Field Office acting Director Josh Johnson said in the release.
Ambriz was convicted of the charge in Montana and sentenced to Montana State Prison before being served with a notice to appear before an immigration judge. An immigration judge ordered his removal from the United States to Mexico in 1999, and he was eventually deported to Mexico in January 2006, along the Paseo Del Norte, Texas Bridge.
The arrest was one of three recently targeting criminal migrants who had victimized children. ICE also arrested a Guatemalan sex offender in Virginia who had been convicted of consensual sexual intercourse with a child last year, as well as another Guatemalan national in New York City who had been convicted of sexual battery of a child earlier this year.
Ambriz will remain in ICE detention until removal proceedings from the United States, according to an ICE release.
“Our officers remain committed to enhancing public safety by apprehending and removing criminal aliens who violate immigration laws,” Johnson said.
