Tony Salazar Salazar/Venezuela/Cocaine Distribution

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Tony Salazar Salazar, a criminal illegal alien from Venezuela, in Atlanta, Georgia, on charges of cocaine distribution.

Cocaine distribution is a serious narcotics offense under both Georgia and federal law, involving the sale or transfer of cocaine to others. Distribution charges carry significantly higher penalties than simple possession, with sentences that increase based on the quantity involved. Criminal illegal aliens convicted of drug distribution offenses are subject to both criminal prosecution and federal removal proceedings.

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers apprehended Salazar Salazar in Atlanta. He currently remains in federal immigration custody and faces removal proceedings before a Department of Justice immigration judge, with potential deportation back to Venezuela.
