If Jorge Dominguez would have been in jail on an immigration hold and not driving a car on Memorial Day, Dawn Glogovsky would probably still be alive.
Dominguez was here illegally, according to immigration officials. Dominguez had an Immigration and Customs Enforcement hold, but it somehow got dropped from two area law enforcement records. Meanwhile the ICE agency said the hold was there for at least 10 months and they don’t know what caused the communication disconnect.
Prior to the car crash that killed Glogovsky, Dominguez had numerous contacts with law enforcement agencies. The Burlington Police Department and the Racine and Cook county sheriff’s departments arrested Dominguez for battery, possession of cocaine, obstructing a police officer and a felony count of possession of a controlled substance, according to law enforcement officials. On Memorial Day, Dominguez allegedly drove into the intersection of highways 45 and N in Paris about 10:45 p.m. and crashed into a car. Glogovsky, a passenger in that car, died. Her husband, Frank J. Glogovsky, was injured, and their 13-year-old son, Frank R. “Remi” Glogovsky, had minor injuries. The family is from Brighton. Carl Rusnok, a spokesman for ICE, said the agency did issue an immigration hold in July because Dominguez is an illegal immigrant. “I don’t know what happened,” Rusnok said. “He did have a detainer in Racine County and our records show he had a detainer in Cook County. This is not a finger-pointing issue. But our records show one thing and theirs show another. We’re trying to find out where the disconnect happened.”...Here illegally
