YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – Six individuals have been indicted on federal charges for reentering the United States after being deported, according to U.S. Attorney Justin E. Herdman.
The defendants, all of whom are Mexican or Honduran nationals, were found in various locations throughout Ohio. Ignacio Mendoza-Arriaga, 31, was found in Youngstown after being deported to Mexico in 2008 following a felony conviction.
Reinaldo Herrerra-Herrerra, 36, was also found in Youngstown after being deported to Mexico in 2011. Christian Euceda-Lopez, a citizen of Honduras, was found in Ohio after being deported from the U.S. in 2012.
Jorge Manuel Ramos-Cruz, 49, a Mexican citizen, was found in Ohio after being deported four times in 2009 and 2010. Wilson Antonio Miranda-Rivera, 36, a citizen of Honduras, was found in Ohio after being deported four times between 2002 and 2014.
Abelardo Beltran-Arriola, 31, a citizen of Mexico, was found in Ohio after twice being deported, in 2008 and 2011. If convicted, the defendants’ sentences will be determined by the court after review of factors unique to each case, including prior criminal records, roles in the offense, and characteristics of the violation.
An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. The defendants are entitled to a fair trial, in which it will be the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
All cases are being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Karrie D. Howard, Michael J. Freeman, Bradley Beeson, Tracey Ballard Tangeman, and Thomas P. Weldon, following investigations by the Youngstown Police Department, U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
The defendants’ exact sentences will be determined by the court after review of factors unique to each case.
