Eutilio Cruz-De Jesus/Mexico/Hit and Run

ICE agents apprehended Eutilio Cruz-De Jesus in Lincoln, Nebraska. The Mexico illegal alien faces charges of hit and run.

The charges filed against Jesus carry criminal penalties under state law and separately provide grounds for federal immigration enforcement. Local prosecutors will handle the criminal case through the state court system while federal immigration authorities pursue removal in a concurrent proceeding, both matters moving simultaneously on independent timelines.

Jesus has been placed in federal immigration detention and is scheduled to appear before a Department of Justice immigration judge. If ordered removed, Jesus would be deported to Mexico.
