Hector Lemus Moreno/Mexico/Hit and Run

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Hector Lemus Moreno, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, in Atlanta, Georgia, on charges of hit and run.

Hit and run is a criminal offense in Georgia involving the failure to stop, render aid, or provide identifying information following a vehicle accident. Depending on whether the accident resulted in property damage, injury, or death, the offense can be charged as a misdemeanor or serious felony. Felony hit and run carries significant prison time and demonstrates a dangerous disregard for the safety and welfare of accident victims.

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers apprehended Lemus Moreno 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.
