Guatemalan National Sentenced for Illegal Reentry After Deportation

BOSTON - A Guatemalan national was sentenced yesterday in federal court in Boston for a federal immigration crime.

Mario Antonio Najera-Salguero, 30, pleaded guilty to one count of illegal reentry of a deported alien before U.S. District Court Judge Denise J. Casper, who sentenced Najera-Salguero to time served and one year of supervised release. Najera-Salguero will also be subject to deportation.

Najera-Salguero self-deported at some point after July 14, 2003. He was later encountered in the United States and deported on Nov. 13, 2009. On June 14, 2017, law enforcement again encountered Najera-Salguero in Boston, using a different name, and determined him to be illegally present in the United States.

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