An immigration judge has dropped the deportation case against Cinthya Garcia-Cisneros, the woman who struck and killed two Forest Grove girls playing in piles of leaves.
“Ms. Garcia-Cisneros was released from ICE custody Aug. 14 after an immigration judge dismissed her case,” said Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Andrew S. Munoz.. KXL radio first reported the news of the decision.
Munoz referred further questions to Department of Justice officials, who declined to release any details of the release to KGW.
She contacted Washington County Community Corrections officials on Monday and met with a probation officer, said assistant director Joe Simich.
Her probation officially started on Jan. 31 and will end Jan. 31, 2017, he said. She was credited for time served while held by immigration officials, he said.
Under terms of her probation, she is not to contact vicitms and she needs to schedule her 250 hour of community service. She also surrendered her driver’s license. Simich said.
On Oct. 20, stepsisters Anna Dieter-Eckerdt, 6, and Abby Robinson, 11, were alone in the street, playing in a leaf pile when Garcia-Cisneros drove through it, felt a bump and kept going.
Garcia-Cisneros, 19, was found guilty Jan. 15 on two counts of failure to perform the duties of a driver.
