Juan Quintana/Mexico/ Drug Trafficking, Fraud, Forgery, Larceny

Juan Quintana, a 39-year-old illegal alien and citizen of Mexico, was arrested by Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) New Orleans during a targeted operation aimed at locating and detaining foreign nationals with serious criminal convictions. Quintana’s criminal history in the United States is extensive and includes multiple felony convictions. Among the most serious of these is a conviction for felony drug trafficking, which involved the possession and distribution of illegal narcotics—a significant public safety threat.

In addition to drug-related offenses, Quintana has also been convicted of felony fraud and felony forgery, both of which involve intentional deception and the unlawful manipulation of documents or financial records. These crimes indicate a pattern of dishonest and illegal conduct with the potential to undermine lawful institutions and harm individuals or businesses. He also has a conviction for larceny, a property crime that adds to his record of nonviolent but damaging offenses.

Quintana entered the United States illegally and has no lawful immigration status. He was taken into custody by ERO officers without incident and is now being held pending removal proceedings. His criminal record, which includes multiple felony-level offenses, places him among those prioritized for immigration enforcement action. ICE officers continue to identify and arrest individuals who have demonstrated serious criminal behavior while remaining unlawfully present in the U.S.
