Elder Agustin Yoc/Guatemala/Aggravated Assault

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Elder Agustin Yoc, a criminal illegal alien from Guatemala, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on charges of aggravated assault using strongarm force against a non-family member.

Aggravated assault is a serious felony under South Dakota law involving conduct that places another person in reasonable fear of serious bodily injury. The use of strongarm force — physical violence — constitutes an aggravated felony. Criminal illegal aliens convicted of violent assault offenses face both criminal prosecution and mandatory federal removal proceedings.

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