Raul Velasco Munoz/Mexico/Rape, Child Cruelty

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Raul Velasco Munoz, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, in Marietta, Georgia, on charges of rape by strongarm force and child cruelty.

Velasco Munoz faces two of the most serious criminal charges possible. Rape is a first-degree felony under Georgia law carrying mandatory lengthy prison sentences and lifetime sex offender registration. Child cruelty involves conduct that causes physical or emotional harm to a minor — a further grave offense. Together, these charges reflect deeply predatory criminal conduct targeting the most vulnerable.

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers apprehended Velasco Munoz in Marietta. He currently remains in federal immigration custody and faces removal proceedings before a Department of Justice immigration judge, with potential deportation back to Mexico.
