Jose Diaz Mendoza/Mexico/Aggravated Assault

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Jose Diaz Mendoza, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, in Gainesville, Georgia, on charges of aggravated assault in a family context.

Aggravated assault within a family context is a serious felony under Georgia law involving conduct that places a family member in reasonable fear of serious bodily injury. The offense carries mandatory prison time and reflects violent criminal conduct directed at persons in the home. Criminal illegal aliens convicted of domestic assault are subject to both state criminal penalties and federal removal proceedings.

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