Jorge Giron Martinez/Mexico/Cocaine Possession

Federal immigration agents arrested Jorge Giron Martinez, a Mexico national here illegally, in Oxford, Wisconsin, on charges of cocaine possession.

Drug possession charges involving illegal aliens frequently result in dual proceedings — a state criminal case and a concurrent federal immigration removal action. Even possession charges can trigger immigration detention when the individual has no lawful status, meaning Martinez now faces both a criminal prosecution and a separate federal removal proceeding moving on independent timelines.

Martinez remains in ICE custody pending a hearing before a federal immigration judge. If the court orders removal, Martinez would be returned to Mexico.
