Ilegal alien who killed off-duty cop in wrong way drive was under deportation orders

Fernando Jimenez-Jimenez drove on the wrong side of traffic earlier this month and killed an off-duty cop. Jimenez had previously been deported in 2019 but like a manure-covered boomerang, he came back. He was under deportation orders but skipped his court date.

Jimenez, 31, drove on the wrong side of I-15 near Las Vegas and struck a Las Vegas police officer, Colton Pulsipher, 29, in a head-on collision. Both men died at the scene.

Jimenez was a Mexican national who had been deported from the United States in 2019 and quickly reapplied for US entry in 2020 in Brownsville, Texas. He skipped the immigration court hearing scheduled for December 2021 and he was placed under deportation orders, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) authorities told KVVU.

Jimenez's whereabouts had remained a mystery for years until the tragic event on December 12, where he was involved in a fatal crash that resulted in his own death and that of Pulsipher. Officials who investigated the incident discovered alcohol and marijuana in Jimenez's vehicle at the crash site. A toxicology report on the driver, described as an illegal alien, has not yet been completed.

Pulsipher was on his way home from work in his personal car when he was struck by Jimenez. He was a dedicated family man, leaving behind a wife and three children.

Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo is among 26 Republican governors who have voiced their support for President-elect Donald Trump's plans for deportation, following a period of significant immigration under President Joe Biden.

“As Republican governors, we stand united in support of President Donald Trump's unwavering commitment to make America safe again by addressing the illegal immigration crisis and deporting illegal immigrants who pose a threat to our communities and national security,” the Republican governors stated in a joint letter.

“Together, we will continue to defend the American people, uphold the rule of law, and ensure our nation remains safe and secure for future generations. We stand ready to utilize every tool at our disposal—whether through state law enforcement or the National Guard — to support President Trump in this vital mission,” the letter continues.

Had Donald Trump won the 2020 election [which many say he did], Jimenez-Jimenez would not have been in the country and Colton Pulsipher would be alive.
