ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. – A court case is at a standstill in St. Louis County while the state orders Immigration & Customs Enforcement to transfer a woman from Kentucky to St. Louis for her trial.

Endrina Bracho was set to appear in court on Friday but is still being held at an ICE detention center. 

Bracho is facing multiple felony charges after a car crash in Hazelwood back in 2023 that claimed the life of 12-year-old Travis Wolfe. 

Jason Glaser is an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney for St. Louis County. He spoke with FOX 2 back in March when Bracho did not appear after the first writ order.

“We are concerned that there is a chance if she is deported that we will not be able to prosecute her and bring justice for both the wolf family and her children who were injured in this crash,” he said.

Court records showed Bracho was driving 35 miles per hour over the speed limit on Dunn Road during a head-on crash.

She is facing charges for involuntary manslaughter, assault, and endangering her own children.

Bracho’s trial was originally scheduled for August of 2024 but it was pushed back. She then received a bond reduction in December.

Police said she is in the country illegally and has been in ICE custody since December.

U.S. Senator Josh Hawley said he’s been in touch with ICE about the case.

“My view and my request to ICE is that she be returned. Now ICE is not bound by Missouri courts. They are a federal entity and federal law is supreme over state law. So ICE ultimately does what they wish here but I have strongly urged them to allow her to stand trial. I think it is important for justice,” Hawley said.

Her defense attorney and the St. Louis Prosecuting Attorney’s Office said Bracho will be in court on May 23.
