ICE stated that Ambriz was convicted in Montana for the felony offense of deliberate homicide and sentenced to 40 years in 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.”

According to ICE, Ambriz was encountered by immigration officers while incarcerated at the Montana State Prison, where he was served a notice to appear before an immigration judge.

An immigration judge near Seattle, Washington, ordered Ambriz’s removal from the U.S. to Mexico on July 3, 1999. He was subsequently removed to Mexico near the Paseo Del Norte, Texas, Bridge on January 26, 2006.

Ambriz remains in ICE custody and is awaiting removal from the U.S.
