Mateo Jorge Perez/Guatemala/Drug Possession, Hallucinogen Distribution

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Mateo Jorge Perez, a criminal illegal alien from Guatemala, in Canton, Georgia, on charges of drug possession and hallucinogen distribution.

Jorge Perez faces two narcotics charges. Hallucinogen distribution involves the sale or transfer of hallucinogenic controlled substances to others and carries significantly higher penalties than possession under Georgia and federal law. The drug possession charge reflects additional controlled substance conduct. Together, these charges indicate active participation in the illegal drug trade involving Schedule I substances.

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers apprehended Jorge Perez in Canton, Georgia. He currently remains in federal immigration custody and faces removal proceedings before a Department of Justice immigration judge, with potential deportation back to Guatemala.
