An illegal immigrant convicted of killing his own child is in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody after he encountered ICE officers in a Montana prison last month.
Carlos Ambriz, a 53-year-old Mexican national, made contact with ICE officers while serving a 40-year sentence in the Montana State Prison for a deliberate homicide conviction and was served a notice to appear before an immigration judge.
He was arrested near his residence in Catoosa, Oklahoma, on March 25, ICE said.

“This subject’s criminal record underscores the significant danger he represents to our community, particularly with the serious charge and conviction for killing his own child,” Johnson said. “Our officers remain committed to enhancing public safety by apprehending and removing criminal aliens who violate immigration laws.”
