An undocumented immigrant serving time for the killing of a child was released from a California prison earlier this month despite an ignored request from federal immigration agents that he be handed over so they could take him into custody to begin deportation proceedings, officials said Monday.
Carlos Morales-Ramirez, 44, left the Valley State Prison in Chowchilla on Dec. 4, an ICE news release said. In 1998, Morales-Ramirez, a citizen of El Salvador, was convicted in Los Angeles County of second-degree murder, assault on a child causing death, and great bodily injury to a child causing death.
The California Department of Corrections told Fox News it could not find a record of Morales-Ramirez.
