Yuri Hernandez-Perez/Cuba/Amphetamine Possession

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Yuri Hernandez-Perez, a criminal illegal alien from Cuba, in Atlanta, Georgia, on charges of amphetamine possession.

Possession of amphetamines is a criminal offense under Georgia law, with penalties that vary based on the quantity of the controlled substance involved. Amphetamines are Schedule II controlled substances, and conviction can result in significant prison time. Criminal illegal aliens convicted of drug offenses are subject to both state criminal penalties and federal removal proceedings in addition to any sentence imposed by the court.

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers apprehended Hernandez-Perez 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 Cuba.
