The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has announced the detention of a Cuban immigrant residing illegally in Alabama. The individual is alleged to have a criminal history involving charges of theft, domestic violence, harassment, and strangulation.
The New Orleans ICE office reported that the person in question, referred to by the initials Y.G.P., has a record in Jefferson County that includes theft, domestic violence involving a firearm, harassment, and domestic violence by strangulation or suffocation.
The agency did not provide specific details regarding the timing or context of these incidents, nor did it clarify which of these charges resulted in convictions.
Nevertheless, official court records in Alabama confirm Y.G.P.'s involvement in three criminal cases before the Jefferson County Circuit Court, identified as CC-23-2066, CC-23-2067, and CC-23-2085.
These cases were subsequently subject to a joint appeal in the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals under the file number CR-2024-0662.
According to public records of the case, the appeals court upheld the lower court's ruling with a memorandum issued on October 31, 2025. The defense later requested a reconsideration.
A formal document from the Court of Criminal Appeals verifies that this request was denied on November 21, 2025.
Following this, the defense approached the Supreme Court of Alabama with a petition for certiorari, which was also rejected, as documented in the public case records.
Court documents confirm the existence of the three criminal cases and the appeal, but they do not specify which charge corresponds to each case file, nor do they establish that all charges listed by ICE resulted in individual convictions.
ICE has not disclosed the current immigration proceedings the detainee faces after being taken into federal custody.
The sources consulted do not include any recent statements from the detainee or their legal defense regarding the arrest announced by ICE.
