Alvarez-Reyes Sentenced to 37 Months

Daniel Alvarez-Reyes, a 30-year-old Mexican national residing in Elkhart, Indiana, has been sentenced to 37 months in prison for felony reentry of removed alien.

According to the United States District Court, Alvarez-Reyes pleaded guilty to the charge and was sentenced by Judge Cristal C. Brisco. The sentencing was announced by Acting United States Attorney M. Scott Proctor.

Alvarez-Reyes has a lengthy criminal history, including felony convictions for possession of cocaine in Indiana and Ohio, as well as illegal reentry into the United States in the Western District of Texas. He was previously removed from the United States on two separate occasions, first in April 2019 and again in January 2020.

The case was investigated by the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Luke N. Reilander and former Assistant United States Attorney Frank E. Schaffer.

The sentencing of Alvarez-Reyes serves as a reminder of the consequences of illegal reentry into the United States. The defendant’s history of felony convictions and repeated removals from the country demonstrate a clear disregard for the law.

The United States District Court’s decision to sentence Alvarez-Reyes to 37 months in prison reflects the seriousness of the offense and the need to protect public safety. The case was handled by the United States Attorney’s Office in conjunction with the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, highlighting the importance of cooperation between law enforcement agencies in combating immigration-related crimes.

In a statement, Acting United States Attorney M. Scott Proctor praised the work of the investigators and prosecutors involved in the case, saying that their efforts helped to bring a repeat offender to justice. The sentencing of Alvarez-Reyes is a significant step in maintaining the integrity of the United States’ immigration laws and protecting the safety of its citizens.
