Angel Martinez Martinez/Mexico/Felony Possession of Meth

On July 15, 2025, ICE Atlanta arrested Angel Martinez Martinez, a 31-year-old citizen and national of Mexico, following his identification as a removable illegal alien with a criminal record involving drug-related offenses. Martinez was taken into ICE custody after local authorities confirmed his unlawful presence in the United States and past arrests involving controlled substances.

According to ICE records, Martinez has been arrested for felony possession of methamphetamine, a serious drug offense involving the unlawful possession of a Schedule II controlled substance. Methamphetamine possession charges often indicate connection to illegal drug activity and carry significant criminal penalties. Such offenses are considered violations of both public safety and immigration law, especially when classified as felonies.

In addition to the methamphetamine arrest, Martinez was also arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia—tools or materials used to consume, package, or distribute illegal substances. While often treated as a lesser offense, the paraphernalia charge further supports the presence of ongoing drug-related conduct and adds to the case for removability under immigration law.

ICE has not released further details regarding Martinez’s immigration history, including whether he has previously been removed from the United States. However, due to the nature of the drug offenses and his illegal status, Martinez is subject to mandatory detention under immigration law. He will remain in ICE custody pending his removal proceedings, during which an immigration judge will determine the outcome of his case based on his criminal background and current immigration status.
