Criminal Mexican Arrested Re-entering US after Deportation by US Marshall

Why would an illegal immigrant be detained with the US Marshals instead of ICE?

My brother in law does have a criminal record here in houston tx. The charges were DUI, Drugs, Theft, and domestic violence. He served a year in TDCJ for theft and then was deported. He recently was caught crossing the border illegally and is currently in custody with the US Marshals. Is his past record the reason he is there instead of in ICE? Thank you!

    Answered . Your brother-in-law is likely in the custody of the U.S. Marshals pending criminal prosecution. Illegal re-entry is a criminal offense punishable by jail time and/or fine.
