Socimo Dominguez-Santiago/Mexico/Forgery

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Socimo Dominguez-Santiago, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, in Atlanta, Georgia, on charges of forgery.

Forgery involves the creation, alteration, or use of a false document with intent to defraud. Under Georgia law, forgery can be charged as a felony depending on the type of document involved and the circumstances, carrying significant prison time. Criminal illegal aliens convicted of forgery are subject to both state criminal penalties and federal removal proceedings, as falsifying documents often facilitates additional criminal conduct.

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers apprehended Dominguez-Santiago 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 Mexico.
