BALTIMORE, MD – Alfredo Carreon-Lopez, 39, of Rosedale, Maryland, is headed back to federal prison after receiving a 20-month and 20-day sentence for the simple act of violating a deportation order. U.S. District Judge James K. Bredar delivered the sentence today, a small reckoning for a man with a disturbing past.
U.S. Attorney Kelly O. Hayes and Acting Director Nikita Baker of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE-ERO) – Baltimore Field Office, jointly announced the sentence. The case, while seemingly straightforward – illegal reentry – is layered with a sickening detail: Carreon-Lopez isn’t just avoiding immigration law; he’s a convicted child sex abuser.
Court records reveal Carreon-Lopez is a national of Mexico who slipped into the United States at an unspecified date and location. The details of his initial entry are murky, but the consequences of his actions are tragically clear. On August 25, 2021, he admitted in Baltimore City Circuit Court to the heinous crime of sexually abusing a minor. Evidence presented during the federal sentencing showed the victim was just 6 years old. The details of that abuse remain sealed, but the impact on that child will likely last a lifetime.
Despite the conviction and the gravity of his offense, Carreon-Lopez was deported to Mexico on October 5, 2021. That should have been the end of the story. It wasn’t. Less than a year later, on September 15, 2023, law enforcement located him back in Baltimore City, brazenly violating the terms of his deportation. He had no legal permission to return to the United States.
“This sentence sends a clear message,” stated U.S. Attorney Hayes, though whether it’s a message that will deter others remains to be seen. “We will not tolerate individuals who illegally reenter the country, especially those with a history of committing such abhorrent crimes.” ICE-ERO’s work was specifically lauded for its role in the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Reema Sood prosecuted the case, ensuring Carreon-Lopez faced consequences for his actions.
