Dominican National Indicted for Illegal Reentry

BOSTON – A Dominican man, unlawfully residing in Lawrence, Mass., was indicted by a federal grand jury for unlawfully reentering the United States after deportation.

Eddy Antonio Perdomo, 31, is charged with one count of unlawful reentry of a deported alien.

According to the charging documents, Perdomo was deported from the United States to the Dominican Republic on Oct. 3, 2023. It is alleged that sometime after his October 2023 removal, Perdomo illegally reentered the United States without permission.

The charge of illegal reentry provides for a sentence of up to two years in prison, one year of supervised release and a $250,000 fine.

Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and statutes which govern the determination of a sentence in a criminal case.

United States Attorney Leah B. Foley; Patricia H. Hyde, Field Office Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations in Boston; and Chief of the Lawrence Police Department made the announcement. Assistant U.S. Attorney Suzanne Sullivan Jacobus of the Major Crimes Unit prosecuted the case.

The details contained in the charging documents are allegations. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
