Luis Simon Acevedo-Rodriguez, a 33-year-old Mexican national, Sentenced to Prison for Reentering the United States

In a joint effort between the United States Border Patrol and the Rankin County Sherriff’s Office, Luis Simon Acevedo-Rodriguez, 33, was arrested on March 17, 2025, in Jackson, MS, for illegally reentering the United States following multiple prior deportations and felony convictions.

Acevedo-Rodriguez has previously been convicted three times in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas – once for improper entry by an alien and twice for illegal reentry by a deported or removed alien. He has been formally removed from the United States three times previously.

According to court documents, on or about March 17, 2025, U.S. Border Patrol Agents were conducting enforcement operations in Rankin County on Interstate 20 when they stopped Acevedo-Rodriguez’s vehicle. Agents conducted a vehicle stop and Acevedo-Rodriguez freely admitted to being a citizen of Mexico and to being present in the United States without the requisite permission.

Acevedo-Rodriguez’s fingerprints were scanned into DHS databases resulting in a computer match to his prior immigration records, including photographs. A Criminal Complaint was filed against Acevedo-Rodriguez on March 20, 2025. He was then indicted by a federal grand jury on April 8, 2025, and pleaded guilty to unlawful return of an alien removed after conviction of a felony on June 6, 2025.

Luis Simon Acevedo-Rodriguez, 33, was sentenced to three years in federal prison for his crime. This sentence demonstrates the strong stance the government will take against individuals who repeatedly break the law and put themselves and others at risk.

Luis Simon Acevedo-Rodriguez, Mexican national, was found guilty of violating U.S. immigration laws and sentenced to three years in prison. The case was investigated by the United States Border Patrol with assistance from the Rankin County Sherriff’s Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kimberly T. Purdie prosecuted the case.
