Source summary

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged an arrest detainer for Juan Alvarado-Aguilar after local reports say he allegedly crossed a double yellow line and collided with a vehicle, killing 20-year-old Fletcher Harris and 19-year-old Skylar Provenza in Rowan County, North Carolina on January 16. Alvarado-Aguilar faces state charges for death by vehicle and driving while impaired (DWI) and is reported to have entered the U.S. on a temporary work visa in March 2020 and overstayed; he has been placed in removal proceedings. ICE requested the Rowan County Jail notify it before any release so federal officers can take custody, and the Department of Homeland Security highlighted the reinstatement of ICE’s VOICE office and hotline for victims.
