Alex Gallardo/Guatemala/Robbery, Burglary, Battery, DUI

ICE San Diego arrested Alex Gallardo, 43, a citizen of Guatemala. According to law enforcement records, his criminal history includes entries for robbery, burglary, battery, theft, and driving under the influence. Where not specified as convictions, these are allegations reflected in official records and will be adjudicated in the appropriate court. Gallardo was taken into custody in the San Diego area and processed for immigration detention while removal proceedings advance before an immigration judge.

Robbery involves taking property by force or intimidation. Investigations typically rely on victim and witness statements, surveillance video, recovery logs for stolen items, and location or device data placing a suspect at the scene. Burglary concerns unlawful entry into a structure with intent to commit an additional offense inside; proof commonly includes forced entry indicators, fingerprints or trace evidence, and video documenting entry and exit.

Battery addresses unlawful physical contact or the use of force against another person. Prosecutors often present photographs of injuries, medical documentation, and officer observations memorialized in reports or body-worn camera footage. DUI cases allege operation of a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol or drugs, supported by standardized field sobriety tests, chemical analyses, and dash or body camera recordings from the stop.

Following apprehension, officers verified identity through biometrics, compiled certified arrest and court documents, and reviewed immigration history for presentation in court. Gallardo remains detained while the immigration case proceeds on a track separate from any state proceedings. The criminal courts will determine outcomes on the listed offenses, and those results will be reflected in the immigration record; the immigration judge will address custody and removability under federal law based on the resulting record.
