Guatemalan Man Pleads Guilty to Unlawfully Re-entering US
A Guatemalan national, Marcial De Leon-Aguilar, has pleaded guilty to unlawfully re-entering the United States after being deported three times.
According to court documents, 31-year-old De Leon-Aguilar was previously convicted of a felony offense and had been removed from the country on three separate occasions.
De Leon-Aguilar’s guilty plea comes after an investigation by the United States Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
As part of his plea agreement, De Leon-Aguilar faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, and removal or deportation from the United States.
Sentencing is scheduled for July 31, 2018.
It’s worth noting that deportation and removal proceedings are separate civil matters litigated in Immigration Court and are not adjudicated as part of a criminal prosecution.
The case is being prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of New York.
