Luis Miguel Quintana-Yanes/Colombia/Assault, Disorderly Conduct, Strangulation/Suffocate

Luis Miguel Quintana-Yanes, an illegal alien from Colombia, was arrested by ICE ERO Boston in Stamford, Connecticut. Quintana-Yanes has a criminal history that includes charges for Assault, Disorderly Conduct, and Strangulation/Suffocate, all of which are violent offenses that pose a significant threat to public safety.

The Assault charge reflects his involvement in physically harming another individual, an offense that can lead to serious injuries and legal consequences. Disorderly Conduct indicates that Quintana-Yanes engaged in disruptive or violent behavior in public spaces, often leading to disturbances or conflicts. However, it is the Strangulation/Suffocate charge that marks one of the most serious aspects of his criminal history. This charge involves an act of violence where an individual attempts to restrict another person’s breathing, a dangerous behavior that can cause life-threatening injuries and is often associated with intimate partner violence.

Following his arrest, Quintana-Yanes was placed in ICE custody, where he will remain pending removal proceedings. As an illegal alien, he is subject to deportation back to Colombia once the legal steps are completed. There, he may face further legal consequences related to his violent behavior.

This case highlights ICE’s ongoing commitment to removing foreign nationals with violent criminal backgrounds from U.S. communities. By ensuring that individuals like Quintana-Yanes are held accountable for their actions, ICE helps to protect public safety and reduce the risk posed by violent offenders.
