Mexican illegal previously DEPORTED 16 TIMES charged for fatal vehicle crash that killed Colorado man
06/21/2024 / By Ramon Tomey
An illegal alien from Mexico who was previously deported 16 times has been charged with causing a fatal vehicle crash that killed a Colorado man.
Mexican Ignacio Cruz-Mendoza, 47, faces multiple charges – including vehicular homicide, vehicular assault, reckless driving and driving without a commercial driver’s license. The charges stem from an incident that resulted in the death of Scott Miller, 64, a resident of Bailey, Colorado.
According to the Colorado State Patrol, Cruz-Mendoza was driving a semi-truck for the Indio, California-based Monique Trucking on Highway 285 near Conifer, Colorado. The truck veered off the road and rolled over, causing the pipe and angle iron it was carrying to spill onto five vehicles. It also caused the highway to be closed in both directions for multiple hours.
Miller was in one of the five vehicles and was pronounced dead at the scene. Another driver sustained serious injuries during the incident, but was fortunately rushed to a local hospital and is now out of harm’s way.
Meanwhile, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed that Cruz-Mendoza is an illegal immigrant who has been deported back to his home country 16 times. He was first deported in May 2002 after being arrested in Oregon. Despite multiple deportations over the past 20 years, he has continually re-entered the U.S., allegedly through the southern border.
ICE officials have also issued a detainer on Cruz-Mendoza, which requests that he be handed over to their custody if released from police custody. The Mexican illegal is under the custody of the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office in Colorado.
Another illegal deported multiple times caused chaos in Colorado last December
The incident involving Cruz-Mendoza isn’t the first time the Centennial State witnessed such an instance. In December, an illegal who had been deported multiple times was involved in a road accident that claimed the lives to two bona fide U.S. citizens in they city of Broomfield, Colorado.
Thirty-seven-year-old Jose Menjivar, who hails from El Salvador, crashed his vehicle into another car on Dec. 12, 2023. The incident killed Melissa Powell, 39, and her 16-year-old son Riordan. The Broomfield Police Department immediately arrested the Salvadoran after his release from the hospital.
Menjivar faces charges of vehicular homicide reckless, vehicular homicide DUI (driving under the influence) and being a habitual offender. Authorities speculate that alcohol and speed may have played a role in the accident.
Court records from Boulder County revealed that Menjivar has a history of prior convictions for drunk driving offenses spanning from 2007 to 2019. To make matters worse, a spokesperson for ICE stressed that the Salvadoran illegal had shown “no regard for immigration law” based on the agency’s records.
Per the spokesperson, Menjivar had reportedly entered the U.S. at an unknown time and place. An immigration judge issued a final order for him on April 14, 2009, and the illegal was deported in June of the same year. Despite the removal order, Menjivar managed to enter the country multiple times after that – in June 2012, November 2014 and finally in January 2015.

ICE Denver lodged a detainer with Broomfield County on Dec. 18, 2023 – six days after the tragic accident that claimed the lives of the Powells. The detainer indicates the agency’s intent to seek Menjivar’s arrest.
“As part of its routine operations, ICE targets and arrests non-citizens who commit crimes and other individuals who have violated our nation’s immigration laws,” said the ICE spokesperson. “All non-citizens in violation of U.S. immigration law may be subject to arrest, detention and, if found removable by final order, removed from the U.S. regardless of nationality.”
The National Pulse meanwhile remarked: “The spike in violence and deaths of American citizens at the hands of illegal immigrants has fueled a backlash against the Biden government among voters. Immigration and the border crisis have routinely ranked as a top issue for Americans heading into the 2024 presidential election.”
