WASHINGTON – Today, the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged an arrest detainer with Ohio local authorities for a criminal illegal alien from India who was indicted on vehicular homicide, involuntary manslaughter, and reckless homicide charges after leading police on a high-speed chase that led to a crash that killed his pregnant 17-year-old passenger and her unborn child last month. He is currently held on a $1 million bond.

According to local reports, the February 16 fatal collision occurred while Singh fled from Ohio police at 100 mph on a 5-mile chase. Singh reportedly crashed head-on into a Jeep Cherokee, causing his 17-year-old pregnant passenger to be ejected from the vehicle and later pronounced deceased. Singh was taken to an area hospital for injuries and later arrested. The driver of the Jeep was reportedly injured, but conscious and alert.

“This is yet another tragic reminder of why illegal aliens should not be driving cars on America’s roads,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “A 17-year-old woman and her unborn child are now dead as a result of this illegal alien’s reckless actions. We have lodged an arrest detainer with Ohio authorities to ensure this illegal alien is never released and allowed back behind the wheel to put more innocent lives at risk.”

Singh entered the country illegally in February 2017 through the southern border in California and was arrested before being ordered released by a judge on bond.
