ICE Detains Two Criminal Suspects in Oregon, Including Driver Accused of Killing Two in Deschutes County

The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has recently detained some of the worst illegal aliens, including Rajinder Kumar, a criminal illegal alien from India charged with criminally negligent homicide and reckless endangerment after he killed two people in Deschutes County.

Convicted of 4th-Degree Assault, Detained by ICE

The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently indicated that several people across the US were detained by ICE over the Thanksgiving weekend, including Edwin Rafael Marcano-Marquez, a criminal illegal alien from Venezuela, who was convicted of fourth-degree assault in Washington County, Oregon.

Here’s the nationwide scale of ICE detentions and the share involving criminal charges.

In a news release, DHS said:

“Despite what the media and sanctuary politicians claim, 70% of ICE arrests are of criminal illegal aliens convicted or charged with a crime in the U.S.”

Criminal Negligence Case Involving Semi-Truck Driver Kumar

In addition, Kumar, from India, was detained on criminally negligent homicide and reckless endangerment charges on November 24 after killing two people in Deschutes County while driving a semi-truck.

He jackknifed his semi-truck and trailer- blocking both lanes of US Highway 20. The driver of a Subaru Outback, William Micah Carter, and his passenger, Jennifer Lynn Lower, were tragically killed after their car collided with a semi-truck.

After entering the US illegally near Lukeville, Arizona, on November 28, 2022, Kumar was released into the country by the Biden administration, issued a commercial driver’s license in California, and granted work authorization in 2023.

Kumar is now housed at the Deschutes County jail pending charges for criminally negligent homicide and reckless endangerment. Should Kumar be released from custody,  ICE will make all necessary efforts to bring him into custody, as Oregon is a sanctuary state.

Kumar’s detention follows three similar cases that resulted in ICE detentions of Indian Criminal Illegal Aliens:

• ICE lodged an arrest detainer for Harjinder Singh in August after he was arrested on three counts of vehicular homicide while driving a semi-truck in Florida.
• ICE arrested Partap Singh, who caused a multi-car pileup while driving a commercial 18-wheeler in the sanctuary state of California that left 5-year-old Dalilah Coleman with critical, life-altering injuries in August.
• Jashanpreet Singh, who killed three people in California while driving an 18-wheeler under the influence, was arrested by ICE in October.
