A Mexican national has been sentenced to six months in prison for re-entering the United States illegally.
Juan De Dios Trejos-Sanchez, 37, of Mexico, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Donald E. Walter on one count of illegal re-entry of a removed alien.
According to a guilty plea entered on January 12, 2017, Trejos-Sanchez was arrested in Calcasieu Parish on October 6, 2016, on domestic battery charges and was then turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Trejos-Sanchez was previously removed from the United States in January of 2012 near Brownsville, Texas.
United States Immigrations and Customs Enforcement conducted the investigation, while Assistant U.S. Attorney Kelly P. Uebinger prosecuted the case.
