Guatemalan National Charged with Illegal Reentry After Deportation

BOSTON - A Guatemalan national was charged today in federal court in Boston with a federal immigration crime.

Mario Antonio Najera-Salguero, 30, was charged today with one count of illegal reentry after deportation. Najera-Salguero was previously deported on Nov. 13, 2009. On June 14, 2017, law enforcement encountered Najera-Salguero in Boston and determined him to be illegally present in the United States.

Najera-Salguero faces a sentence of no greater than two years in prison, one year of supervised release, a fine of $250,000, and will be subject to deportation upon completion of his sentence. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

Acting United States Attorney William D. Weinreb and Matthew J. Etre, Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations in Boston, made the announcement today. Assistant U.S. Attorney Suzanne Sullivan Jacobus of Weinreb’s Major Crimes Unit is prosecuting the case.
