David Ortiz Juarez, Illegally Reentering the U.S, Connecticut 2024
Hartford, Connecticut – In a shocking turn of events, David Ortiz Juarez, 35, a citizen of Guatemala, has been sentenced to prison for his involvement in a serious crime.
According to reports, Ortiz Juarez was sentenced to approximately seven and one-half months of imprisonment, time already served, and two years of supervised release, for illegally reentering the United States after being deported.
This is not Ortiz Juarez’s first run-in with the law. He entered the U.S. through New Mexico when he was a juvenile and was removed to Guatemala in April 1998. Ortiz Juarez illegally reentered the U.S. in approximately 2003 and lived in Hartford. He was subsequently convicted after trial in Hartford superior court of two counts of risk of injury to a minor.
The conviction was related to severe injuries suffered by his then four-month-old daughter who was in his care. Following service of a five-year sentence, he was removed to Guatemala in April 2009. Ortiz Juarez again illegally reentered the U.S. On August 7, 2016, he was arrested by Hartford Police for driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
Ortiz Juarez has been detained since his arrest by ICE agents on August 19, 2016. On January 5, 2017, he pleaded guilty to reentry of a removed alien.
At the conclusion of today’s court proceeding, Ortiz Juarez was taken into ICE custody and will be removed to Guatemala.
The matter was investigated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Enforcement and Removal Operations. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Deborah R. Slater.
