Martin Terrazas-Pallares/Mexico/Aggravated Battery with a Deadly Weapon, Domestic Violence, DUI, Cocaine Possession

HSI Denver arrested Martin Terrazas-Pallares, 33, a citizen of Mexico. Official records list a criminal history that includes aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, domestic violence, driving under the influence, and possession of cocaine. He was located in the Denver area, taken into custody without incident, and booked into immigration detention pending removal proceedings before an immigration judge. Where items are not certified as convictions, they remain charges that will be decided in the appropriate criminal court.

Aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and domestic violence are prosecuted as violent offenses and are typically supported by victim statements, medical documentation, photographs, and officer observations recorded in reports or body-worn camera video. DUI cases rely on field sobriety tests, chemical analyses, and recorded observations, while cocaine possession is established through laboratory confirmation and chain-of-custody records.

During intake, officers verified identity through biometrics, documented immigration history, and compiled the relevant court paperwork for the administrative file. Terrazas-Pallares remains in ICE custody while hearings are scheduled and the immigration court evaluates custody and removability under federal law.
