In a shocking bust, federal agents seized nearly 200 pounds of methamphetamine from a residence in Forest Park, Georgia, with the drugs stashed in trash bags in a detached garage and near the bed of the suspect, Maira Porras Corras. The 36-year-old illegal alien from Hidalgo, Mexico, was arrested on June 11, 2026, after selling approximately two pounds of methamphetamine to another individual in a church parking lot on March 24, 2026. The massive seizure is a significant blow to methamphetamine trafficking in the area. The investigation led to the arrest of Porras Corras, who now faces federal charges.
The DEA Atlanta Field Division, led by Special Agent in Charge Jae W. Chung, worked tirelessly to bring Porras Corras to justice. U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg praised the efforts of the agents involved, stating that his office will continue to prosecute, to the fullest extent of the law, illegal aliens and others who traffic deadly narcotics in the community.
Porras Corras appeared in federal court on a criminal complaint charging her with conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. The defendant is presumed innocent of the charges, and it will be the government’s burden to prove the allegations. The case is a stark reminder of the dangers of methamphetamine trafficking and the importance of law enforcement efforts to combat this scourge.
The seizure of the methamphetamine, as well as drug paraphernalia and nearly $56,000 in cash, is a significant victory for law enforcement. The investigation and arrest of Porras Corras demonstrate the commitment of federal agents to protecting the community from the dangers of drug trafficking.
