Gerson Vasquez-Gonzalez/Guatemala/Hit and Run

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Gerson Vasquez-Gonzalez, a criminal illegal alien from Guatemala, in Atlanta, Georgia, on charges of hit and run.

Hit and run is a criminal offense in Georgia involving the failure to stop, render aid, or provide identifying information following a vehicle accident. Depending on whether the accident resulted in property damage, injury, or death, the offense can be charged as a misdemeanor or serious felony. Criminal illegal aliens convicted of hit and run are subject to both state criminal penalties and federal removal proceedings.

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers apprehended Vasquez-Gonzalez in Atlanta. He currently remains in federal immigration custody and faces removal proceedings before a Department of Justice immigration judge, with potential deportation back to Guatemala.
