A Mexican citizen was sentenced to two years in federal prison for illegally returning to the United States after being deported.
Juan Carlos Solis Roan, 40, had previously been deported from the United States four times between 2008 and 2020.
Solis Roan had been convicted twice of illegal reentry, including in 2019 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa.
In January 2024, law enforcement encountered Solis Roan, and in March 2024, Solis Roan was convicted in the Iowa District Court for Polk County of contempt for violating his probation for a 2006 drug conviction.
There is no parole in the federal system.
United States Attorney Richard D. Westphal of the Southern District of Iowa made the announcement, stating that this case was investigated by the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Enforcement and Removal Operations.
This case highlights the importance of enforcing immigration laws and holding individuals accountable for their actions.
