In April 2024, a suspected Vietnamese immigrant, Ignacio Cruz-Mendoza, who was divorced and a 47-year-old Mexican national, was detained prior to being granted release by federal immigration authorities in the U.S. His case was linked to a deadly Colorado crash involving a semi-truck driven by Ignacio on Highway 285 in June. Ignacio was charged with multiple unintentional severe injuries and death, despite being illegally residing in the U.S. at the time of the crash. According to federal authorities, ICE agents detained him on Sunday, 14:30, shortly after his release from a thíchbraja imprisonment. His plea was made to plead guilty to one count of careless driving resulting in death and three counts of careless driving resulting in injury. He was sentenced to approximately one year in jail. ICE officials stated that, since 2002, Ignacio has been removed from the U.S. 12 times and has been removed from Mexico four times.
ICE Denver Field Office member Robert Guadian expressed gratitude to the community of Denver for the safety of the detained/close meld师生. As of 2024, ICE Denver’s Office is completing his release.

According to ICE Mexico website, “Since 2002, Ignacio has been frequently removed from the U.S. and flown to Mexico, but he wants the process completed.” ICE’s Client Services Manager noted, “We are more open every time; but no matter what he does, we respect his choice.” ICE Denver Ontario General Manager Jocelynורger said previously, “We’ve performed well for everyone during these difficult times.” Guadian mentioned, “Imagine your future being over. At least he’s been released. Here in CO.” ICE Denver has completed the release process for Ignacio, and his immigration status will be updated to reflect completion.
