A truck driver was cleared in a bad crash in Alamo. He is not free, though. He is locked up at an immigration jail. He is waiting to be sent to Mexico.

A Hidalgo County grand jury looked at his case. The driver's name is Jose Fidencio Luna Ramirez. The grand jury did not indict him. That means the case is closed. But Luna Ramirez did not go home. ICE picked him up. He is now at a detention center in Raymondville.

The case started with a crash. It happened on the expressway in Alamo. The date was June 19, 2026. A child was thrown from a car in the crash. Other people got hurt too. Video of the crash spread online. People got angry. Police first said Luna Ramirez left the crash scene. That charge led to his arrest.

Hidalgo County District Attorney Terry Palacios spoke to Channel 5 News. He said the grand jury no-billed the case. That means they did not find enough proof to charge him. Police later said Luna Ramirez did stop after the crash. He left before officers got there. But he stopped first. Police also said the other driver caused the crash. That driver hit his truck.

Two adults from that other car now face charges. Their names are Francisco Davila Jr. and Samantha Vianney Rodriguez. They are charged with child endangerment. Police say kids in their car were not buckled in right. The Hidalgo County District Attorney's office says a grand jury has not looked at those two cases yet.

Jail records show Luna Ramirez got out of the county jail on Wednesday. But he never made it home. His wife, Sindia Robles, says ICE put a hold on him. That happened at the very start of his time in jail.

"Right now he's in an ICE detention center. They placed an ICE hold on him right at the beginning of his detention," Robles said.

Robles says no one told her why federal agents took her husband. She says he is in this country the right way.

"He drives legally in this country; he has a visa, a valid I-94 form, a valid international driver's license, and a valid passport, all valid," Robles said.

Robles says she was told her husband will be let go soon. Then he will be sent back to Mexico.

For two months, Robles spoke up in public. She said her husband did nothing wrong. She never stopped.

"I've been fighting for two months against this injustice that was being committed against my husband," Robles said. "I knew it wasn't like that because I've known my husband my whole life. I know he would never do that."

This case matters here in the Valley. It shows how two legal systems can work at the same time. A grand jury can clear someone. But that same person can still face deportation. That comes from a separate, federal process, run by ICE, not the county.

Right now, the criminal case is over. The immigration case is not. Luna Ramirez stays in ICE custody in Raymondville. Robles has not gotten a full answer about the hold. Channel 5 News asked ICE about it on Wednesday. As of Thursday afternoon, ICE had not answered.

The cases against Davila and Rodriguez are still open too. Neither case has gone to a grand jury yet. It is not clear when that will happen.

The grand jury's decision brought relief to the family. But it did not bring Luna Ramirez home. His wife says she will keep fighting.
