Four Men Charged with Illegal Reentry in West Virginia

ELKINS, WEST VIRGINIA – In a shocking turn of events, four men have been charged with illegal reentry into the United States. According to sources, Selvin Garcia-Xitumul, 21, originally from Guatemala, was allegedly discovered in May 2016 in Monongalia County, West Virginia. He was previously deported from the country.

Garcia-Xitumul is not the only one facing charges. Three other men, Wilson Ariel Garcia-Guzman, 21, originally from Guatemala, Marco May-Cucil, 27, originally from Guatemala, and Javier Vargas-Zaldivar, 32, originally from Honduras, were also allegedly discovered in the same county and were previously deported.

The men are each charged with one count of “Reentry of a Removed Alien.” This crime carries a maximum sentence of up to two years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

The exact date of the alleged offense is May 2016. The men are currently facing serious charges and could face significant penalties if convicted.

According to sources, the men are being held without bail.

In a statement, Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah W. Montoro said, “We take these cases very seriously, and we will do everything in our power to ensure that those who break the law are held accountable.”
