Dahlonega resident, Victor Acosta, faces possible deportation to Mexico
News August 20, 2018LUMPKIN CO., GA
Lumpkin County resident, Victor Acosta, 30, was arrested in Dahlonega, GA on August 9, after a warrant had been issued for his arrest due to violating the terms of his probation.
While incarcerated in Lumpkin County, he received an additional hold for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. ICE transported Acosta from the Lumpkin County Sheriff’s Office to the Irwin County Detention Center on Tuesday, August 14. On Friday, August 17, Acosta was transported once again to the Stewart County Detention Center in Lumpkin, GA, where he is currently awaiting an immigration hearing.
Acosta moved to America from Mexico in 2000, and has lived in Lumpkin County for 18 years. Prior to his arrest, he participated in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. He had been serving probation for a DUI charge that he received in 2015, and has no other criminal activity on his record. According to Acosta, the results of a mandated drug test showed traces of amphetamine in his system, which goes against the terms set in his probation.
During a phone interview with Fetch Your News, Acosta expressed his confusion over the situation, “anyone who knows me, knows that I don’t take amphetamines.” Acosta explained, “I can’t wrap my brain around how this happened.”
An Atlanta immigration attorney is currently representing Acosta, who is expected to receive a bond hearing before going before a judge for an immigration hearing. Acosta and his attorney are hopeful that members of the community who have known Victor, and can attest to his good moral character, will show support by writing a letter of recommendation, “anyone who can write a letter in support of my being released to go home to Dahlonega, please do so immediately.”
