An immigrant woman from Zimbabwe could be deported after police allege she stabbed her 3-year-old child in the stomach during a fight with her husband in a Mississippi park.

Nomatter Gava-Hudson, 26, faces an attempted murder charge and is currently held on a $1 million bond in a Harrison County jail for allegedly stabbing her son three times Oct. 5 at Jones Park in Gulfport, the Sun Herald reports.

As a result of the criminal charge, Immigration and Customs Enforcement placed a detainer on Gava-Hudson because she has “no immigration status” and could be “subject to removal” if convicted, Warden Evan Hubbard told the news site.

ICE spokesman Bryan D. Cox said the detainer requires jail officials to hold Gava-Hudson until her criminal case is resolved, at which point they must turn her over to ICE for a review of her immigration status.

Police allege Gava-Hudson, of Biloxi, stabbed her son three times around 11 p.m. at the beachfront park during an argument with her husband, Jabari Hudson, WXXV and the Sun Herald report.

“A passerby, a combat engineer in the Army National Guard, told the Sun Herald he heard a couple arguing and the man was screaming for help, saying the child’s mother had stabbed their baby in the stomach,” according to the Sun Herald.

The person intervened by offering medical assistance and calling 911. Gava-Hudson allegedly told officers who arrived she intended to kill the child and herself. She was arrested and jailed on suicide watch at the Harrison County Adult Detention Center, WREG reports.

The child was first rushed to a local hospital for treatment before he was airlifted to a Mobile, Alabama hospital, according to WJTV.

WXXV reports the child remains hospitalized in Mobile, and Jabari Hudson filed for divorce Monday.

Gava-Hudson is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Oct. 28 on the attempted murder charge, which is punishable by 20 years to life in prison. Harrison County prosecuting attorney Herman Cox told the Sun Herald she requested a court-appointed attorney.

ICE officials also told the news site the immigration detainer requires local officials to turn Gava-Hudson over to immigration officers once the criminal case is complete, a step that does not necessarily result in deportation.

Gava-Hudson would face a hearing in an immigration court, likely in New Orleans, though ICE policies recommend deportation for felons regardless of their authorization status, the Sun Herald reports.

“Really? WTF? It’s bad enough that she did what she did, and she might be an illegal immigrant on top of that?” Brennan Sullivan posted to Facebook. “We need to start deporting illegal immigrants again, enforce immigration laws! No amnesty for illegal immigrants!”

“Let her do her time and then deport her!” Linda Belle Johnson added.

Dedee James had a different proposal.

“Ship her butt back to where she came from, let her country deal with her so my country doesn’t have to spend our tax dollars keeping her fed and healthy in prison,” she posted.
