The mother of a pregnant teen killed in a devastating car crash in Ohio says she wants ICE to deport the Indian national charged in the incident. She said she did not want him to stay in the United States.33 years old Tarsem Singh faces multiple felony charges, including manslaughter, reckless homicide and aggravated vehicular homicide, in the deaths of 17-year-old Ashlee Holmes and her unborn child. Federal immigration authorities also detained Singer, meaning he could soon face deportation proceedings.Ashley’s mother, Annette Holmes, said she wanted Singer to leave the country.“No one should die while pregnant with their first child,” Annette Holmes, 40, told Newsweek in a phone interview.She added: “I agree that he should be permanently removed from the country. We found out that he came here illegally in the first place. They can send him to where he is best suited because I don’t want him to be in the United States anymore.”According to family members, Singer is the father of Ashley’s unborn child. Relatives also claim that the teenager tried to leave the relationship on several occasions.The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said Singer entered the United States illegally through the southern border in California in February 2017. He was arrested at the time but was later released on bail on a judge’s order. Singer is now being held on $1 million bond. His jury trial is scheduled for Aug. 17-21.The fatal crash occurred on February 16 when Singer failed to stop for police and led them on a high-speed pursuit.According to a report obtained by Newsweek, the Range Rover carrying Tarsem and Ashlee was first recorded traveling at 79 mph (127 km/h) in a 55 mph (89 km/h) zone. During the chase, the vehicle reached speeds of more than 120 mph (193 km/h) before the driver lost control on a curve, entered the oncoming lane and crashed into a Jeep.The Range Rover rolled over multiple times and Ashley was ejected from the vehicle. She was mortally wounded and her unborn child died. Singer was injured and airlifted to Miami Valley Hospital.Remembering her daughter, Annette Holmes described Ashley as a loving, cheerful young woman who always tried to lift the morale of those around her. Family said Ashley loved animals, music and spending time with relatives and friends. They added that she hopes to pursue a career helping others, either as a veterinarian or as a doctor specializing in cardiac care.
