Mexican National Sentenced for Illegal Reentry After Deportation

BOSTON - A Mexican national was sentenced today in federal court in Boston for a federal immigration crime.

Felipe Bautista-Guerrero, 46, pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful reentry of a deported alien before U.S. District Court Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV, who sentenced Bautista-Guerrero to 21 months in prison. Bautista-Guerrero will be subject to deportation proceedings upon completion of his sentence.  

On Dec. 28, 2015, law enforcement officers encountered Bautista-Guerrero - who was already on supervised release out of Texas for an illegal reentry conviction - in Boston and determined that he was again unlawfully present in the United States. Bautista-Guerrero had been deported on two previous occasions, on March 22, 2011, and Nov. 24, 2012.  

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 Kenneth G. Shine of Weinreb’s Major Crimes Unit prosecuted the case.
