Indian national charged in crash that killed teen, victim’s mother calls for deportation

The mother of a pregnant teenager killed in a devastating car crash in Ohio is demanding the deportation of the Indian national charged in the incident. Annette Holmes stated she does not want Tarsem Singh, 33, to remain in the United States. Singh faces multiple felony charges, including involuntary manslaughter, reckless homicide, and aggravated vehicular homicide, in connection with the deaths of 17-year-old Ashlee Holmes and her unborn child.

Federal immigration authorities have lodged a detainer against Singh, indicating potential deportation proceedings. Annette Holmes expressed her desire for Singh's permanent removal from the country, noting that he allegedly entered the U.S. illegally. "I'm OK with him being kicked out of the country permanently. We came to find out he came here illegally at first. They can send him wherever he is best off because I don't want him in the States no more," Holmes told Newsweek.

Nobody should ever deserve to die while pregnant with their first kid.

According to the family, Singh was the father of Ashlee's unborn child and that the teenager had attempted to end the relationship multiple times. The Department of Homeland Security reported that Singh entered the U.S. illegally through the southern border in February 2017. Although arrested at the time, he was later released on bond. He is currently being held on a $1 million bond, with a jury trial scheduled for August.

The fatal crash occurred on February 16 after Singh allegedly failed to stop for police, leading officers on a high-speed chase. Reports indicate the Range Rover carrying Singh and Holmes was traveling at speeds exceeding 120 mph (193 km/h) in a 55 mph (89 km/h) zone before the driver lost control, crossed into the opposite lane, and collided with a Jeep. The vehicle overturned multiple times, ejecting Ashlee, who suffered fatal injuries. Singh was injured and airlifted to a hospital. Ashlee Holmes is remembered by her family as a caring and cheerful young woman with aspirations of becoming a veterinarian or a heart care doctor.
