Jose Morillon/Mexico/Possession of a Controlled Substance, Aggravated Assault

Jose Morillon, 36, a citizen of Mexico, was arrested by ICE New Orleans officers following his release from local custody. Morillon, who is illegally present in the United States, has a documented criminal history that includes serious violent and drug-related offenses. His arrest is part of an ongoing effort to locate and detain foreign nationals who pose a danger to public safety through repeated criminal behavior.

Morillon’s charges include aggravated assault and battery resulting in injury to a pregnant woman. This type of offense is classified as a violent felony, and law enforcement records indicate that the assault led to physical harm inflicted during the woman’s pregnancy. The severity of this crime raises significant concern for public safety and underscores the violent tendencies in Morillon’s behavior.

In addition to the assault charge, Morillon was also arrested for possession of a controlled substance, signaling involvement in illegal narcotics. Drug-related offenses combined with violent conduct present a compounded threat to the community. These charges are part of a larger pattern of disregard for the law that immigration authorities monitor closely when evaluating priorities for enforcement.

Morillon was taken into custody without incident and is currently being held by ICE pending immigration proceedings. His case is now moving through the legal process to determine the appropriate course of removal from the United States.
