Luis Rolando Clavijo Tacuri, a 32-year-old Ecuadorian national, has been charged with unlawfully reentering the United States after being deported in 2016. Tacuri, who was residing in Milford, Massachusetts, has a history of driving under the influence (DUI) arrests in the state, with four arrests prior to his current charge. The latest arrest occurred on May 27, 2024, in Milford, Massachusetts, when Tacuri was again taken into custody for allegedly operating under the influence.
Tacuri’s troubles with the law began in October 2015, when he was encountered by immigration officials while incarcerated for his third DUI offense in Holliston, Massachusetts. He was subsequently placed into removal proceedings and deported to Ecuador in December 2016. However, it is alleged that Tacuri illegally reentered the United States at some point after his removal.
The charge of unlawful reentry of a deported alien carries a sentence of up to two years in prison, one year of supervised release, and a fine of up to $250,000. Tacuri is currently in federal custody pending further proceedings. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Brendan O’Shea of the Worcester Branch Office.
The investigation was conducted by Homeland Security Investigations in New England and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations in Boston. United States Attorney Leah B. Foley and Acting Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations in New England Jeff Grimming announced the charges.
