The wrong-way driver who killed an off-duty Las Vegas officer had been deported from the U.S. twice before the crash, according to federal officials.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed that Fernando Jimenez-Jimenez, 31, was a Mexican citizen. An ICE spokesperson said Jimenez entered the United States twice in 2019 “and was returned to Mexico on an order of expedited removal.”

The spokesperson also said Jimenez applied for admission to the U.S. on Jan. 24, 2020 in Brownsville, Texas but never appeared for his immigration hearing nearly two years later on Dec. 2, 2021. An immigration ordered him to be deported when he didn’t go to court.
