Pedro Guadarrama Loza, a previously deported Mexican national and convicted felon, is facing federal charges for his alleged role in a massive methamphetamine trafficking operation in North Georgia. On July 29, 2026, law enforcement identified a suspicious shipment of five boxes from Mexico en route to the Gainesville area. The boxes contained 277 pounds of methamphetamine, concealed in industrial powder. Loza allegedly took possession of the boxes on August 12, 2026, in an undercover operation.
The seizure of the methamphetamine is a significant victory in the ongoing efforts to disrupt the flow of dangerous narcotics into Georgia communities. The investigation was led by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in collaboration with local and federal partners.
Loza, who had been previously deported, now faces serious charges in federal court for his alleged involvement in the trafficking of a massive amount of methamphetamine. The case highlights the need for continued cooperation between law enforcement agencies to combat the threat of illicit drugs.
The HSI and its partners will continue to utilize all available resources to identify, investigate, and hold accountable those who threaten the safety of communities by trafficking illicit drugs. The case against Loza is ongoing, and he is expected to face federal prosecution for his alleged crimes.
