South Bend Resident Charged with Falsely Representing Citizenship, Identity Theft, and Social Security Crimes
In a shocking turn of events, Emilio Santana-Esquivel, a 27-year-old resident of Macy, Indiana, has been charged with three serious crimes.
A Grand Jury sitting in South Bend, Indiana, returned indictments against Santana-Esquivel on June 12, 2013. The charges include one count of falsely representing to be a United States citizen, one count of identity theft, and one count of illegal use of a false social security number.
According to sources, the investigation was led by the Department of Homeland Security – Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Assistant United States Attorney Jesse M. Barrett has taken on the case and will prosecute Santana-Esquivel in court.
As the case unfolds, Santana-Esquivel’s fate will be decided by a judge. If convicted, the court will determine the specific sentence to be imposed, taking into account federal sentencing statutes and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. However, it’s essential to note that an indictment is merely an allegation, and all individuals charged are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
The United States Attorney’s Office emphasizes that the charges against Santana-Esquivel are severe and carry significant consequences. The public is urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities.
As the investigation continues, the Grimy Times will provide updates on the case. In the meantime, residents of South Bend and surrounding areas are advised to be cautious and aware of their surroundings.
