Re-entering US Illegally Lands Roanoke Resident Behind Bars
Aureliano Valentin-Concepcion, a.k.a. ‘Jose Ramerez-Monteicia,’ 36, of Mexico, has been found guilty of violating the immigration laws of the United States. The guilty plea was handed down in the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia in Roanoke.
According to evidence presented at the guilty plea hearing by Assistant United States Attorney C. Patrick Hogeboom III, Valentin-Concepcion has been removed from the United States three times previously, most recently on August 23, 2000 from El Paso, Texas.
The investigation of the case was conducted by the Department of Homeland Security, Enforcement and Removal Operations. Assistant United States Attorney C. Patrick Hogeboom III prosecuted the case for the United States.
United States Attorney John P. Fishwick Jr. commented on the guilty plea, stating, ‘We will continue to enforce the immigration laws of the United States and remove those individuals who repeatedly break those laws.’
Aureliano Valentin-Concepcion, the defendant, has been removed from the United States three times previously, and the current charge of re-entering the country illegally will likely carry significant consequences.
Details of the sentence or outcome have not been released, but given the severity of the charge, it is likely that Valentin-Concepcion will face penalties for his actions.
As the United States continues to enforce its immigration laws, cases like this serve as a reminder of the consequences for those who repeatedly break these laws.
