LAFAYETTE, La. – In a shocking case of brazen disregard for U.S. immigration laws, Mario Albert Mora-Villa, 41, of Mexico, pleaded guilty to reentering the United States illegally.
According to court documents, Mora-Villa was encountered by immigration officers in the St. Mary Parish Detention Center, where he admitted to having been previously removed from the country twice – once in March 2007 and again in November 2011.
