Dolores Mejia Garcia/Honduras/Child Cruelty, Aggravated Assault

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Dolores Mejia Garcia, a criminal illegal alien from Honduras, in Lawrenceville, Georgia, on charges of child cruelty and aggravated assault in a family context.

Mejia Garcia faces two serious criminal charges. Child cruelty involves conduct that causes physical or emotional harm to a minor — a serious felony under Georgia law. Aggravated assault within a family context reflects further violent conduct directed at household members. Together, these charges demonstrate a pattern of dangerous criminal behavior targeting the most vulnerable individuals in the home.

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers apprehended Mejia Garcia in Lawrenceville. She currently remains in federal immigration custody and faces removal proceedings before a Department of Justice immigration judge, with potential deportation back to Honduras.
