Marco Antonio Reyes-Escutia, Reentry by an Alien Without Permission, Louisiana 2017
Louisiana Leads the Nation in Crime, With Cases Like This One.
A Mexican national, Marco Antonio Reyes-Escutia, 42, of Mexico, has pleaded guilty to reentering the United States without permission after being previously removed four times. This is a serious crime that should not be taken lightly.
According to the guilty plea, Sulphur police arrested Reyes-Escutia on July 10, 2017 for stealing from a local retail store. During the investigation, Border Patrol agents interviewed the defendant, who admitted to being in the United States illegally. This is a blatant disregard for our laws and a clear threat to national security.
The defendant has been arrested and removed from the United States on multiple occasions: once in 2010, twice in 2012, and once in 2013. This pattern of behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
The court has set a sentence of up to two years in prison, one year of supervised release, and a $250,000 fine for the defendant. The court will accept the plea and schedule a sentencing hearing for January 12, 2018.
The United States Border Patrol and the Sulphur Police Department conducted the investigation, and Assistant U.S. Attorney David J. Ayo is prosecuting the case. This is a clear example of the importance of effective law enforcement and the need for harsh penalties for those who break our laws.
Marco Antonio Reyes-Escutia's case serves as a reminder that the United States will not tolerate those who disregard our laws and put our national security at risk.
