Indian national Tarsem Singh charged in crash that killed pregnant teen, victim's mother calls for ICE deportation: 'They can send him wherever'
The mother of a pregnant teenager who died in a devastating car crash in Ohio has said she wants ICE to deport the Indian national charged over the incident. She says she does not want him to remain in US.
33-year-old Tarsem Singh faces multiple felony charges, including involuntary manslaughter, reckless homicide and aggravated vehicular homicide, in connection with the death of 17-year-old Ashlee Holmes and her unborn child. Federal immigration authorities have also lodged a detainer against Singh, meaning he could face deportation proceedings very soon.
Ashlee's mother, Annette Holmes, said she wanted Singh removed from the country.
"Nobody should ever deserve to die while pregnant with their first kid," 40-year-old Annette Holmes told Newsweek in a phone interview.
She addeed: "I'm OK with him being kicked out of the country permanently. We came to find out he came here illegally at first. They can send him wherever he is best off because I don't want him in the States no more."
According to the family, Singh was the father of Ashlee's unborn child. Relatives also claimed the teenager had attempted to leave the relationship on several occasions.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said Singh entered US illegally through the southern border in California in February 2017. He was arrested at the time but was later released on bond following a judge's order. Now, Singh is being held on a $1 million bond. His jury trial is scheduled for 17-21 August.
