Marisela Lira-Urbina/Nicaragua/Child Cruelty, Assault

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Marisela Lira-Urbina, a criminal illegal alien from Nicaragua, in Decatur, Georgia, on charges of child cruelty and assault.

Lira-Urbina faces two criminal charges. Child cruelty under Georgia law involves conduct that causes physical or emotional harm to a minor and carries significant felony penalties depending on the circumstances. The assault charge indicates additional violent conduct toward another person. Crimes against children are treated with particular severity under both state and federal law, and criminal illegal aliens face both criminal prosecution and mandatory removal proceedings.

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers apprehended Lira-Urbina in Decatur. She currently remains in federal immigration custody and faces removal proceedings before a Department of Justice immigration judge, with potential deportation back to Nicaragua.
