The man who police say had been on the run for almost a year after killing cyclists Michael Wang is the subject of a hold by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

"ICE will seek to take him into custody upon his release by local authorities to pursue any appropriate follow-up immigration enforcement action," agency spokesman Andrew Muñoz said in a statement.

His bail was initially set at $500,000; bail is not being denied because of the immigration hold, jail records show.

The suspect has not been charged, and seattlepi.com does not typically name suspects until they're charged. The suspect, who police say confessed to hitting the cyclist, is expected to be charged Monday.

One wonders how many "hit and run" stories exist and how many does it take to be convincing that aliens have NO sense of RESPONSIBILITY towards another human being! The responsibility also lies heavily upon the shoulders of American government.
