Edin Flores-Cruz/Honduras/Battery

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Edin Flores-Cruz, a criminal illegal alien from Honduras, in Jonesboro, Georgia, on charges of battery.

Battery is a criminal offense under Georgia law involving harmful or offensive physical contact with another person without their consent. Depending on the severity, the victim’s status, and whether a weapon was used, battery can be charged as a misdemeanor or felony. Criminal illegal aliens convicted of battery are subject to both state criminal penalties and federal removal proceedings.

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers apprehended Flores-Cruz in Jonesboro. He currently remains in federal immigration custody and faces removal proceedings before a Department of Justice immigration judge, with potential deportation back to Honduras.
