ICE Arrests Venezuelan Man in Georgia Despite US Work Permit

ICE Arrests Venezuelan Immigrant in Georgia: A Case of Past Crimes Catching Up On May 26, 2025, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested Alexander, a Venezuelan national, in Georgia, USA. Alexander was wanted in Venezuela for a crime related to the death of a teenager. He had previously been detained and released in Venezuela before seeking asylum in the United States and obtaining a work permit. Despite this, ICE acted on the outstanding warrant from Venezuela. The video shows the arrest unfolding in a residential area. Several ICE agents are visible, and the scene appears relatively calm. While the video doesn't provide direct quotes from Alexander, the narrator's account suggests the arrest was unexpected, given Alexander's work permit. The narrator states, "Se le acabó la fiesta al muchacho. Hoy en su país natal lo esperan." (The party's over for the guy. They're waiting for him in his native country.) This incident highlights the complexities of immigration law and the challenges faced by those seeking asylum. While the video raises questions about the timing of the arrest, it underscores the global reach of legal proceedings and the potential consequences of past actions for individuals seeking a new life.
