Desiderio Martin-Pablo/Guatemala/Assault

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Desiderio Martin-Pablo, a criminal illegal alien from Guatemala, in Savannah, Georgia, on charges of assault.

Assault is a criminal offense under Georgia law involving an intentional act that places another person in reasonable fear of imminent harmful or offensive contact. Depending on the circumstances and whether a weapon was involved, assault 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 Martin-Pablo in Savannah. He currently remains in federal immigration custody and faces removal proceedings before a Department of Justice immigration judge, with potential deportation back to Guatemala.
