ICE Lodges Detainer for Illegal Alien Charged with Fatal DUI Crash in Ohio

The suspect had been previously deported by the Trump Administration

WASHINGTON - The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released the following statement after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged a detainer asking officials in Ohio to not release an illegal alien who has been charged after a fatal DUI crash that killed a man in Ohio.

According to local reporting, the incident happened on September 6 in Fairfield County. A vehicle that was traveling eastbound on Route 33 went into the opposite lanes and struck a car traveling westbound, killing 23-year-old Cameron Lyon. Lyon's fiancée was severely injured in the crash. The Ohio State Highway Patrol arrested the suspect, Alvaro Uribe-Gonzalez, an illegal alien from Mexico.

The victim: Cameron Lyon, 23

The suspect: Alvaro Uribe-Gonzalez

Uribe-Gonzalez has been charged with aggravated vehicular homicide, driving under the influence of alcohol, and operating a motor vehicle without a valid license. ICE lodged a detainer with the Fairfield County Jail the day after he was arrested.

"This illegal alien has been charged with aggravated vehicular homicide and driving under the influence of alcohol after allegedly causing a car crash that killed 23-year-old Cameron Lyon in Ohio," said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. "Cameron had his whole life ahead of him, and that life was stolen by this criminal who never should have been in our country in the first place. ICE has lodged a detainer asking officials in Ohio to cooperate with us and not release him from jail, so that we can remove him from this country. Deporting illegal aliens is our duty because it saves lives."

Uribe-Gonzalez illegally entered the United States through Texas in January 2020 and was arrested by the U.S. Border Patrol. After a Department of Justice (DOJ) Immigration Judge issued him a final order of removal on January 11, the Trump Administration deported Uribe-Gonzalez on April 14, 2020. He then illegally re-entered the United States - a felony - at an unknown date and location.
