ICE spokesman Tim Oberle confirmed with CR that ICE lodged a detainer on September 13 following his arrest and that Sahi is indeed an illegal alien from Pakistan. However, given that bail is set for $2.5 million, it’s unlikely he will be released from Nueces County Jail. If prosecutors obtain a conviction leading to capital punishment or life without parole, the ICE detainer will become moot, because he will never be released and deported.
