OTHELLO, Wash. (AP) - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will seek to deport a man suspected of killing two women and leaving their dismembered bodies in an abandoned car in the central Washington town of Othello - if and when he’s ever released from state custody.
ICE has lodged an immigration detainer with Adams County Jail for Mauricio Nava-Garibay, who is a citizen of Mexico, The Spokesman-Review reported.
The detainer is a request for the jail to hold Nava-Garibay 48 hours after he would otherwise be released, whether he posts bail, prosecutors drop charges against him, or after a finding of guilt or innocence. It wasn’t immediately known if Nava-Garibay has an attorney to comment on his case.
