INVADER NEWS: Wrong-Way Driver In Crash That Killed Vegas Police Officer Was In US Illegally: ICE; Illegal Migrant Was Deported Twice But Kept Sneaking Back Before Fatal Wrong-Way Crash That Killed Off-Duty Las Vegas Cop
Wrong-way driver in crash that killed Vegas police officer was in US illegally: ICE:
A wrong-way driver who killed an off-duty Las Vegas police officer earlier this month was in the U.S. illegally, federal officials told local media outlets.
On Dec. 12, Fernando Jimenez-Jimenez, 31, drove a Ford F150 the wrong way on the northbound side of Interstate 15, colliding with the Toyota Corolla of Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) Officer Colton Pulsipher, 29, in the process, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. Both men died.
Jimenez-Jimenez, a Mexican citizen, entered the U.S. twice in 2019 “and was returned to Mexico on an order of expedited removal,” a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesperson told local FOX5.
In January 2020, Jimenez-Jimenez applied for admission to the U.S. with Customs and Border Protection in Brownsville, Texas, but he was ordered to be deported in December 2021 by an immigration judge, ICE said.
Jimenez-Jimenez had alcohol and marijuana containers in his truck when the crash happened, Nevada State Police told FOX5. Toxicology results are pending.
Pulsipher had been with LVMPD since 2017 and was assigned to the tourist safety division traffic bureau “where he worked tirelessly to protect and serve our community,” LVMPD said on Facebook. He was heading home after his shift when the crash happened. —>READ MORE HERE

Illegal migrant was deported twice but kept sneaking back before fatal wrong-way crash that killed off-duty Las Vegas cop
An illegal migrant who killed an off-duty Las Vegas police officer in a wrong-way crash this month had been deported twice — but kept sneaking back into the country, authorities said.
Mexican citizen Fernando Jimenez-Jimenez, 31, was driving his Ford F-150 the wrong way on Interstate 15 on Dec. 12 when his vehicle crashed head-on with Officer Colton Pulsipher, who was heading home from his shift, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.
Both Jimenez and Pulsipher were pronounced dead at the scene.
Jimenez, 31, entered the US twice in 2019, when he was deported back to Mexico each time, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) told local news outlets.
Jimenez later applied for admission into the US in Brownsville, Texas, in 2020, but failed to show for his immigration hearing a year later leading the judge to order his deportation in his absence, ICE said. But by that time, he was already roaming the country.
Cops found marijuana and alcohol when they searched Jimenez’s truck, according to KVVU. Meanwhile, a toxicology report is still pending. —>READ MORE HERE
