Habeeb Lami/Iraq/Assault

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Habeeb Lami, a criminal illegal alien from Iraq, in Lawrenceville, Georgia, on charges of assault.

Assault is a criminal offense under Georgia law involving an intentional act that places another person in reasonable fear of imminent harmful or offensive contact. Depending on the circumstances, whether a weapon was involved, and the relationship to the victim, assault can be charged as a misdemeanor or felony. Criminal illegal aliens convicted of assault are subject to both state criminal penalties and federal removal proceedings.

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