U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Thursday identified Gelsen Verela Dubon, the 18-year-old who was arrested following a high speed chase with Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD), as an illegal immigrant from Honduras.

An ICE spokesman reportedly confirmed Verela Dubon is a Honduran national in a statement to WKRN, and Davidson County Sheriff's Office records show he is currently being held on a detainer requested by ICE. According to ICE, such detainers are lodged, "against potentially dangerous aliens who have been arrested by another law enforcement agency or are removable from the United States."
