Twice-Deported Criminal Alien Busted in Atlanta by ICE with Alleged 275 Pounds of Meth

Deported twice. Caught again in Gainesville with 277 pounds of Mexican meth. The back door was his third plan.

Summary

  • Breitbart reports ICE Homeland Security Investigations arrested 38-year-old Pedro Guadarrama-Loza, a previously deported Mexican national, on federal drug-trafficking and immigration charges after a shipment of more than 275 pounds of methamphetamine from Mexico.
  • On July 29, 2026, officers flagged five boxes bound for a Gainesville, Georgia, address. The powder inside tested as meth and weighed 277 pounds. On Aug. 12, agents delivered the boxes in an undercover drop. Loza took them inside, then tried to flee out the back when the warrant hit.
  • ICE says he first entered illegally in Texas in 2004, was deported in May 2008, re-entered near Eagle Pass, and was deported a second time after a 2017 DeKalb County controlled-substance trafficking sentence.
  • The U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia charged conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine and illegal re-entry after deportation. Loza is from Michoacan.

Commentary

A warehouse dad in Gainesville still smells diesel on the dock and counts boxes that are supposed to be soap. He does not get a medal if the powder is meth. He gets a question from a cop who already knows the name.

That is the gap. Two removals. A 2017 trafficking stretch. Two hundred seventy-seven pounds in five boxes. The man still had a back door in Georgia. The first deportation was 2008. The second was after DeKalb. The third chapter arrived by freight.

Ask every taxpayer on that corridor: if twice-removed is still a receiving address, what part of 'removed' was ever a sentence?

Comments

If a man is deported twice, who signed for the third shipment?

Two thousand four. Two thousand eight. Two thousand seventeen. Those are not oops. Those are a route.

I guarded a brig. A man who already did trafficking time does not get a Gainesville porch as a warehouse.

u/rule_first · 4h

Illegal re-entry after deportation is its own felony. The meth charge is the bonus the freight paid.

u/tokyo_ally · 3h

Japan does not let a twice-removed trafficker collect 277 pounds at a house and call it commerce.

u/docket_rat · 3h

Watch the briefs call this 'over-policing a shipment.' They never stood at that back door.

u/night_shift · 2h

I get written up for a mislabeled pallet. He got a third chapter after two planes.

Eagle Pass to DeKalb to Gainesville is a map my kids should not have to live on.

u/gulf_watch · 55m

Michoacan freight does not pick Gainesville by accident. It picks the county that already lost him twice.

u/press_clip · 30m

Breitbart printed 277 pounds, July 29, Aug. 12, 2004, 2008, and 2017. Argue those nouns.

Charge the re-entry. Seize the boxes. Finish the removal after the docket. Stop the third welcome.
