- ICE seeks custody after his prison term.
- Authorities say he entered the US illegally in 2021.

## Summary

A Mexican national, Ulises Raigoza-Martinez, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to killing a Nashville restaurant owner. US Immigration and Customs Enforcement has lodged a detainer seeking custody of him when he is released, meaning he could face deportation proceedings after serving his sentence.

Authorities said Raigoza-Martinez entered the United States illegally through Texas in 2021. The case has drawn attention because it combines a serious violent crime conviction with immigration enforcement, while the detainer asks Tennessee officials to transfer him to ICE rather than release him directly.
