BOSTON – A Dorchester man was indicted today by a federal grand jury in Boston for unlawfully reentering the United States after deportation. 

Tommy Raul Jimenez-Perez, 26, was charged with illegal reentry and will appear in U.S. District Court in Boston at a later date.

According to the indictment, Jimenez-Perez was removed on March 3, 2020. It is alleged that, sometime after his removal, Jimenez-Perez unlawfully reentered the United States.

The charge of illegal reentry provides for a sentence of up to 10 years in prison, three years of supervised release and a fine of $250,000.

Lyons, Field Office Director, Boston, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations; and Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox made the announcement. Assistant U.S. Attorney Suzanne Sullivan Jacobus of the Major Crimes Unit is prosecuting the case. 

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