Jose Fernando Arce-Martinez/Mexico/Possession with Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine

ICE New Orleans arrested Jose Fernando Arce-Martinez, a citizen of Mexico. Court records confirm a conviction for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, for which he was sentenced to 36 months in prison. After completing his criminal sentence, Arce-Martinez was taken into ICE custody and booked into immigration detention pending removal proceedings before an immigration judge.

The case file reflects his involvement in narcotics distribution at a felony level, with the sentencing order documenting the three-year prison term. Certified court records and judgment documents have been added to his immigration file to be reviewed during hearings.

During intake, officers verified his identity through biometric checks, confirmed his prior immigration history, and secured all necessary documentation to present to the court. Arce-Martinez remains in detention as his immigration case proceeds, with custody continuing until a final determination is made regarding his removal from the United States.
