Lucas Alonzo-Lucas/Guatemala/Aggravated Assault

ICE New Orleans arrested Lucas Alonzo-Lucas, a citizen of Guatemala and an illegal alien residing in the United States, as part of targeted enforcement operations aimed at apprehending individuals with serious criminal records who threaten public safety and violate immigration laws. Alonzo-Lucas, thirty-nine, was apprehended following multiple encounters with law enforcement stemming from his pattern of criminal activity.

Among his offenses, Alonzo-Lucas has been charged and convicted of aggravated assault, a violent crime typically involving the use or threat of physical force intended to cause significant bodily injury. Records indicate that his involvement in this offense posed a substantial risk to the safety of individuals in his community, underscoring the gravity of his presence in the United States without legal status.

Further compounding his criminal record is his conviction for possession and exchange of methamphetamine, a Schedule II controlled substance known for its high potential for abuse and addiction. Law enforcement reports indicate that his drug-related activity was not merely for personal use but suggested involvement in broader narcotics distribution, heightening concerns over his impact on community health and safety.

Additionally, Alonzo-Lucas has been cited for failure to appear in court, demonstrating a disregard for legal obligations and judicial authority. Such behavior reflects a broader pattern of non-compliance and an attempt to evade accountability for his criminal actions.

At the time of his arrest, Alonzo-Lucas was confirmed to have no lawful immigration status and had not sought any form of legal relief to remain in the country. ICE officers apprehended him without incident and placed him into removal proceedings. He remains in ICE custody, where his serious criminal background and repeated legal violations will weigh heavily on the outcome of his immigration case.
