Madison, Tennessee -- A man who is facing vehicular homicide charges in Madison County after his 18-year-old passenger was killed in a car crash last month is an illegal immigrant, according to the U.S. Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
ICE Agent Gus Ponce said Tuesday that after interviewing Jose Trejo Encino, 27, he learned that Encino is an illegal immigrant.
The department has placed an administrative hold on Encino, who is facing charges of vehicular homicide and tampering with evidence in Madison County after his passenger Sergio Lopez was killed in a car crash last month, according to Madison County Sheriff David Woolfork. The hold will prevent Encino from bonding out of jail.
