ST. LOUIS COUNTY – A Kentucky jail says it will not send an involuntary manslaughter suspect back to St. Louis County to stand trial unless ICE orders it. 

Endrina Bracho is accused of driving 35 MPH over the speed limit on the wrong side of the road when she caused a car crash that killed 12-year-old Travis Wolfe in 2023. This incident happened on Dunn Road in Hazelwood. 

Police say Bracho was in the country illegally from Venezuela. 

 “She needs to be held accountable for these horrific crimes,” said St. Louis County Prosecutor Melissa Price Smith. 

Assistant prosecuting attorney Jason Glaser says he is worried they will not get to bring justice for the Wolfe family. 

“We are concerned that there is a chance that she is deported,” Glaser said. 

That’s because Bracho is still in ICE custody after a controversial move in December. 

Judge Bruce Hilton changed Bracho’s bond, allowing her to be released on her own recognizance. Then, ICE picked her up almost immediately. 

Now in ICE custody in Kentucky, a new court filing shows Bracho is set to be deported. 

“Obviously, if she were still in jail here, we wouldn’t be playing this cat-and-mouse game. However, it is our intention and our goal to get her back here,” Price Smith said. 

In an effort to make that happen, Glaser filed a motion to bring Bracho back to St. Louis County. 

Judge Mary Elizabeth Ott issued a new arrest warrant for Bracho and ordered that she be returned to the county by Friday. 

Judge Ott is now hearing the case after Judge Hilton took over as presiding judge for the county. However, it is unclear if the judge’s order will make a difference. 

FOX 2 talked to the jailer at the Grayson County Detention Center in Kentucky. He confirmed that he had received Judge Ott’s order but said he cannot and will not comply with it without ICE’s approval. 

FOX 2 reached out to ICE but, as of the time of publication, has not heard back. Glaser says it is a wait-and-see situation. 

“We know she has a court hearing at the end of the week so we’re hoping that this could potentially delay her deportation, and they will bring her back here,” Glaser said. 

Bracho’s attorney declined an interview but said he is confident Bracho will return to St. Louis County and stand trial in August as scheduled.
