Las Vegas, NV – A Mexican national, Felipe De Jesus Jauregui-Acosta, 43, appeared in court this week to face charges of illegally reentering the United States. The defendant had been previously deported and removed from the country on October 5, 2008, but authorities say he returned without permission. Jauregui-Acosta is now charged with one-count of deported alien found in the United States, a serious offense.
According to court documents, Jauregui-Acosta was identified by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after his arrest on May 4, 2025. The arrest came following charges of Resist Public Officer with Deadly Weapon not Firearm, Assault Deadly Weapon on First Responder, Battery Deadly Weapon on First Responder, and Use Possesses Drug Paraphernalia. He was convicted of Resisting Public Officer with Use of a Dangerous Weapon on July 3, 2025.
Jauregui-Acosta’s charges carry significant penalties if convicted. The defendant could face up to two years in prison, a one-year term of supervised release, a $250,000 fine, and a $100 special assessment. The case has been investigated by the ICE Salt Lake City, Las Vegas Sub-Office and is being prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Nevada.
Acting United States Attorney Sigal Chattah and Acting Field Office Director Jason Knight announced the charges against Jauregui-Acosta. The public is reminded to report crimes and suspicious activity by calling 866-DHS-2-ICE or completing an online tip form. It is important to note that an indictment is merely an accusation, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
This case serves as a stark reminder of the consequences faced by those who ignore legal orders to leave the United States. Jauregui-Acosta’s initial court appearance has been set for September 22, 2025, before Magistrate Judge Brenda N. Weksler.
