Deported Migrant Kills Off-Duty Las Vegas Officer in Wrong-Way Crash

Fernando Jimenez-Jimenez, a Mexican national previously deported twice, collided head-on with Officer Colton Pulsipher, killing both men.

Fernando Jimenez-Jimenez, 31, had been deported twice in 2019 and was under deportation orders after missing a 2021 immigration hearing.
On December 12, Jimenez drove the wrong way on Interstate 15 near Las Vegas, colliding with Officer Colton Pulsipher's vehicle, resulting in both of their deaths.
Authorities found alcohol and marijuana in Jimenez's truck, though toxicology results are still pending.
Officer Pulsipher, 29, served with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department since 2017 and leaves behind a wife and three young children.
The crash has reignited discussions about immigration enforcement, with Republican governors voicing support for stricter deportation measures under President-elect Donald Trump.
