Gilberto Pedro Lorenzo/Guatemala/Battery

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Gilberto Pedro Lorenzo, a criminal illegal alien from Guatemala, in Gainesville, Georgia, on charges of battery.

Battery is a criminal offense under Georgia law involving harmful or offensive physical contact with another person without their consent. Depending on the severity, the victim’s status, and whether a weapon was used, battery can be charged as a misdemeanor or felony. Felony battery carries significant prison time. Criminal illegal aliens convicted of battery are subject to both state criminal penalties and federal removal proceedings.

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers apprehended Pedro Lorenzo in Gainesville. He currently remains in federal immigration custody and faces removal proceedings before a Department of Justice immigration judge, with potential deportation back to Guatemala.
