ICE arrests previously deported Mexican national in Okla., convicted of the homicide of his own child
DALLAS — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested a Mexican national convicted of homicide March 25.
ICE Dallas ERO Fugitive Operations and ERO Special Response teams arrested Carlos Ambriz, 53, an unlawfully present Mexican national and previously deported criminal alien near the subject’s residence in Catoosa, Oklahoma. Ambriz was convicted in Montana for the felony offense of deliberate homicide and sentenced to 40 years prison.
"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,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Dallas Field Office acting Director Josh Johnson. “Our officers remain committed to enhancing public safety by apprehending and removing criminal aliens who violate immigration laws.”
Ambriz encountered immigration officers while incarcerated at the Montana State Prison, where he was served a notice to appear before an immigration judge.
Ambriz was ordered removed from the U.S. to Mexico by an immigration judge near Seattle, Washington, July 3, 1999.
On Jan. 26, 2006, Ambriz was removed to Mexico near the Paseo Del Norte, Texas, Bridge.
Ambriz remains in ICE custody pending removal from the U.S.
