The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reported the arrest of a Cuban immigrant in Alabama who is in the country illegally, attributing to him a history of offenses related to theft, domestic violence, harassment, and strangulation.
The office of ICE New Orleans stated that the criminal record of the detainee, identified by his initials as Y.G.P., includes robbery, domestic violence with a firearm, harassment, and domestic violence by strangulation or asphyxiation in Jefferson County.
The immigration agency did not specify the circumstances or the date of those events in its publication, nor did it clarify which of them correspond to convictions.
However, official court records from Alabama confirm that Y.G.P. was involved in three criminal cases before the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, identified as CC-23-2066, CC-23-2067, and CC-23-2085.
These causes were subsequently the subject of a joint appeal before the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals, under the file CR-2024-0662.
According to the public record of the case, the appellate court confirmed the first-instance decision through a memorandum on October 31, 2025. The defense then requested a reconsideration.
An official document from the Court of Criminal Appeals confirms that that request was denied on November 21, 2025.
Subsequently, the defense appealed to the Alabama Supreme Court with a petition for certiorari, which was also denied, according to the public record of the case.
The consulted legal documents confirm the existence of the three criminal proceedings and the appeal, but they do not specify which charge corresponds to each file, nor do they establish that all the background listed by ICE have individually resulted in convictions.
ICE also did not report what immigration procedure the detainee is currently facing after being taken into custody by federal authorities.
There is no record in the consulted sources of a recent statement from the detainee or their defense regarding the arrest announced by ICE.
