Booking and charging records from Cobb County or court filings showing an arrest on January 30, 2026 and two counts of aggravated sexual battery filed against Juan Carlos Salvador‑Diaz.

Source summary
DHS and ICE say they lodged an arrest detainer with the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office asking local authorities not to release Juan Carlos Salvador-Diaz, a Honduran national arrested on January 30, 2026 and charged with two counts of aggravated sexual battery for the alleged sexual assault of a 10-year-old in Cobb County, Georgia. DHS says Salvador-Diaz illegally entered the United States in 2019 and urged state and local cooperation to honor the detainer so ICE can take custody. The department framed the request as necessary to prevent further victimization while criminal proceedings proceed.
