FORT WORTH, Texas -- A woman who pleaded guilty to leaving her kids in a car after it ran out of gas has been turned over to federal immigration authorities.
Margarita Huerta, 32, was charged with two state felony counts of abandoning and endangering her children when she left her 5-year-old daughter and 10-month-old son in a vehicle on U.S. 75.
Shortly after Huerta left to get gas, her daughter got out of the car and attempted to cross the roadway.
Huerta's child was spotted by a passing motorist who notified authorities.
Huerta completed her 100-day jail sentence in Collin County and was immediately turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Huerta now faces deportation and her case will go before an immigration judge.
