Yonathan Gil Pena/Venezuela/False Statement

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Yonathan Gil Pena, a criminal illegal alien from Venezuela, in Lawrenceville, Georgia, on charges of making a false statement.

Making a false statement to law enforcement or government officials is a criminal offense under Georgia law. Depending on the context and nature of the misrepresentation, a false statement can be charged as a misdemeanor or felony. Providing false information impedes investigations and obstructs justice. Criminal illegal aliens convicted of such offenses are subject to both state criminal penalties and federal removal proceedings.

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