Emiliano Martinez Rueda/Mexico/Assault

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Emiliano Martinez Rueda, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, in Atlanta, Georgia, on charges of assault.

Assault is a criminal offense under Georgia law involving an intentional act that causes another person to reasonably fear imminent harmful or offensive contact. Depending on the circumstances and any use of a weapon, assault in Georgia can be charged as a misdemeanor or felony. Criminal illegal aliens convicted of assault are subject to both state criminal penalties and federal removal proceedings.

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers apprehended Martinez Rueda 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 Mexico.
