PORTLAND, Maine: A Guatemalan national was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Portland for illegally re-entering the United States after a prior removal.
The defendant, Marvin Aguilar-Lopez, 24, was pulled over in March 2025 by Old Orchard Beach police officers for a taillight violation. During the stop, Aguilar-Lopez produced an invalid international license and told police he was from Guatemala.
Immigration records showed that he had previously been removed from the U.S. in 2023 and did not have a visa or other documentation that would allow him to re-enter the country.
Marvin Aguilar-Lopez pleaded guilty on May 29, 2025. Chief U.S. District Judge Lance E. Walker sentenced Aguilar-Lopez to time served (approximately 4 months).
The case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the government to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.
Operation Take Back America streamlines efforts and resources from the government’s Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) and Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN).
According to court records, Aguilar-Lopez was investigated by U.S. Border Patrol after his arrest.
