Veronica Contreras Navarrete/El Salvador/Terrorism

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Veronica Contreras Navarrete, a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador, in Atlanta, Georgia, on charges of terrorism.

Terrorism charges under Georgia law reflect conduct intended to intimidate civilians or coerce government policy through the threat or use of violence or dangerous acts. Such charges are among the gravest under both state and federal law, carrying mandatory substantial prison sentences. Criminal illegal aliens charged with terrorism face both criminal prosecution and mandatory federal removal proceedings.

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers apprehended Contreras Navarrete in Atlanta. She currently remains in federal immigration custody and faces removal proceedings before a Department of Justice immigration judge, with potential deportation back to El Salvador.
