Felipe Catalan Espindola/Chile/Dangerous Drug Possession

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Felipe Catalan Espindola, a criminal illegal alien from Chile, in Canton, Georgia, on charges of dangerous drug possession.

Possession of dangerous drugs is a criminal offense under Georgia law, with penalties that vary based on the type and quantity of the controlled substance involved. Convictions can carry significant prison time depending on the substance and prior criminal history. Criminal illegal aliens convicted of drug offenses are subject to both state criminal penalties and federal removal proceedings in addition to any sentence imposed.

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers apprehended Catalan Espindola in Canton. He currently remains in federal immigration custody and faces removal proceedings before a Department of Justice immigration judge, with potential deportation back to Chile.
