Victor Lakha Palmas/Venezuela/Shoplifting

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Victor Lakha Palmas, a criminal illegal alien from Venezuela, in Carrollton, Georgia, on charges of shoplifting.

Shoplifting involves the unlawful taking of merchandise from a retail establishment. Under Georgia law, shoplifting penalties vary based on the value of the goods taken, with felony charges possible for higher-value theft or repeat offenders. Criminal illegal aliens convicted of shoplifting are subject to both state criminal penalties and federal removal proceedings.

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