A Honduran national has been charged with a federal immigration crime in Boston. Ivan DeJesus Lopez-Lopez, 29, a Honduran national residing in Boston, was charged with illegally reentering the United States after being deported.
According to the indictment, Lopez-Lopez was deported in November 2009 for unlawfully entering the United States. In May 2017, federal agents in Boston discovered Lopez-Lopez and found him to be again illegally present in the United States.
The charge of illegal reentry after deportation provides for a sentence of no greater than two years in prison, one year of supervised release and a fine of $250,000. Lopez-Lopez will be subject to deportation upon completion of his sentence. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
Acting United States Attorney William D. Weinreb and Matthew J. Etre, Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations in Boston, made the announcement today. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kenneth G. Shine of Weinreb’s Major Crimes Unit is prosecuting the case.
The details contained in the indictment are allegations. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
This case highlights the ongoing efforts of federal law enforcement to combat illegal immigration and ensure that those who violate the law are held accountable. The charges against Lopez-Lopez demonstrate the commitment of the Department of Justice to enforcing federal immigration laws and protecting national security.
The investigation and prosecution of this case are a testament to the collaboration and cooperation between federal agencies and law enforcement officials. As the case against Lopez-Lopez moves forward, it will be important to monitor the proceedings and ensure that justice is served.
