Juan Morelo Guerrero/Mexico/Possession of Methamphetamine, Larceny

ICE New Orleans arrested Juan Morelo Guerrero, a citizen of Mexico and an illegal alien residing in the United States, as part of ongoing operations targeting individuals with criminal convictions posing threats to public safety. Morelo Guerrero, 39, has been living in the country without legal status and was apprehended due to his involvement in drug-related crimes and property offenses.

Morelo Guerrero’s criminal history includes a conviction for possession of amphetamine, a controlled substance known for its high potential for abuse and addiction. Law enforcement records indicate that he was found in possession of quantities significant enough to suggest not only personal use but potential distribution. His engagement with illegal narcotics raises substantial concerns about his impact on community safety and the potential for further criminal activity.

In addition to drug charges, Morelo Guerrero has a conviction for larceny, a property crime involving the unlawful taking of another person’s goods with intent to permanently deprive them of ownership. Court documents show that his larceny case involved theft of items of significant value, signaling a deliberate pattern of criminal conduct rather than an isolated incident.

At the time of his arrest, Morelo Guerrero had no lawful immigration status and had not pursued legal avenues to remain in the United States. ICE officers apprehended him without incident, confirmed his identity and criminal background, and placed him into removal proceedings. He remains in ICE custody, where his drug conviction and property crime record will play a critical role in determining the outcome of his deportation case.
