ICE: Man accused in drunk driving crash that killed 3 motorcyclists in Texas Hill Country in U.S. illegally
Ivan Robles Navajes, 28, accused of killing 3 and and injuring 9 others
SAN ANTONIO – The man accused of causing a deadly crash in Kerr County is does not have legal status in the United States, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials told KSAT on Tuesday.
On Saturday, members of the Thin Blue Line Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club were traveling to Kerrville to have lunch before the group’s meeting. Kerr County Sheriff’s deputies say Ivan Robles Navejas crossed over the center line on Highway 16, striking several of the motorcycles head-on.
ICE spokesperson Nina Pruneda on Tuesday confirmed that Robles Navejas is “an unlawfully present Mexican national,” leading the agency to filed an immigration detainer against him.
Immigration detainers require local county jail operators to detain people who are accused of crimes and do not have legal status for at least 48 hours after they would have otherwise been released from the jail so that immigration agents have the ability take them into federal custody.
In November 2016, ICE encountered Robles Navejas after a DWI arrest in Kerr County, but he did not meet the agency’s enforcement priorities at that time.
Killed in the crash were Joseph Paglia, President of the TBLLEMC Chicago chapter and retired Officer with the Niles City Police Dept., Jerry Wayne Harbour, Thin Blue Line ambassador, Lt. Col. Army (retired) and pilot for Eastern Airlines (retired), and Michael White, secretary of the TBLLEMC Chicago chapter.
