Man Convicted of Child's Death Faces Deportation After ICE Encounter

Carlos Ambriz, a Mexican national convicted of the deliberate homicide of his child, is facing deportation after an encounter with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers. Ambriz was serving time in a Montana state prison when ICE officers identified him. Following his release from state custody, ICE took him into federal custody to begin deportation proceedings.

The details surrounding the child's death and Ambriz's conviction have not been released. However, the legal process now shifts to federal immigration court, where a judge will determine whether Ambriz will be deported back to Mexico. ICE routinely identifies individuals in state and federal prisons who are in the United States illegally and who may be subject to deportation upon release.

This case raises questions about the role of ICE in state correctional facilities and the consequences for non-citizens convicted of crimes within the United States. The deportation process can be lengthy and complex, involving legal appeals and potential challenges to the deportation order. The outcome of Ambriz's case will depend on his legal representation and the specific details of his immigration status.
