Guatemalan National Sentenced for His Third Illegal Reentry Conviction

Baltimore, Maryland – U.S. District Judge Matthew J. Maddox sentenced Francisco Reymundo-Reymundo, 30, a citizen of Guatemala, to eight months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for illegally reentering the United States following removal. This marks Reymundo-Reymundo’s third illegal reentry conviction.

Kelly O. Hayes, U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland, announced the sentence with Acting Field Office Director Jeremy Bacon, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE-ERO) – Baltimore Field Office.

According to Court filings, the U.S. previously deported Reymundo-Reymundo four other times. Following his second removal, law enforcement encountered Reymundo-Reymundo for a third time in August 2014, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. As a result, Reymundo-Reymundo was convicted of a felony for illegal reentry, resulting in his removal from the U.S. for a third time.

On July 9, 2019, law enforcement encountered Reymundo-Reymundo for a fourth time, this time in West Burlington, Iowa. Reymundo-Reymundo was again convicted of a felony for illegal reentry, resulting in his removal from the U.S. on September 14, 2020, for a fourth time.

Then on April 6, 2025, law enforcement encountered Reymundo-Reymundo for a fifth time, this time in Baltimore County, Maryland. Reymundo-Reymundo voluntarily and unlawfully reentered the United States on an unknown date.

This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.

U.S. Attorney Hayes commended the ICE-ERO for its work in this investigation. Ms. Hayes also thanked Assistant U.S. Attorneys John D’Amico and Michael C. Hanlon who prosecuted the case.
