Migrant convicted of killing his son arrested by ICE years after initial deportation

"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 offense in Montana and incarcerated at the Montana State Prison before being served with a notice to appear before an immigration judge. He was ordered removed from the U.S. to Mexico by an immigration judge in 1999 and eventually removed to Mexico in January 2006 near the Paseo Del Norte, Texas, Bridge.

Ambriz will remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings from the U.S., the ICE release said.

"Our officers remain committed to enhancing public safety by apprehending and removing criminal aliens who violate immigration laws," Johnson said.
