Mexican National Indicted for Illegal Re-Entry
A 31-year-old Mexican national has been charged with illegally re-entering the United States, federal authorities announced today.
According to a one-count indictment, Faustino Juarez-Castillo re-entered the country despite being previously deported on October 28, 2011.
The indictment alleges that Juarez-Castillo’s actions constitute a violation of Title 8, United States Code, Section 1326(a), which prohibits aliens who have been previously removed from the United States from re-entering the country without permission.
Prosecutors say that if convicted, Juarez-Castillo could face a maximum term of imprisonment of two years, a maximum fine of $250,000, a maximum term of supervised release of one year, and a mandatory $100 special assessment.
U.S. Attorney Kenneth A. Polite emphasized that an indictment is merely an accusation, and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
Praise was given to the United States Department of Homeland Security for their work in investigating this matter, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Spiro G. Latsis leading the prosecution.
The case serves as a reminder of the consequences of violating U.S. immigration laws.
