A Mexican man was sentenced to 60 days of imprisonment for his 5th illegal entry into the United States. Juan Antonio Lopez-Mauricio, 34, pleaded guilty in federal court to a charge of illegal reentry of a removed alien.
According to information presented to the court, on January 30, 2025, immigration officials encountered Lopez-Mauricio and determined that he was illegally present in the United States. Lopez-Mauricio was previously removed from the United States four times between 2012 and 2015 following convictions in federal courts in the Southern District of Texas and the District of Arizona for illegally entering the United States.
Lopez-Mauricio was sentenced to 60 days of imprisonment by United States District Judge W. Scott Hardy on April 28, 2025. Lopez-Mauricio has been in custody since his January arrest and will remain detained pending his deportation from the United States.
Assistant United States Attorney Rebecca L. Silinski prosecuted this case on behalf of the government. Acting United States Attorney Troy Rivetti commended U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations for the investigation leading to the successful prosecution of Lopez-Mauricio.
This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the government to achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations, combat illegal immigration, and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.
