HARRISBURG – The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced today that four previously deported aliens were indicted separately on December 6, 2017, by a federal grand jury for illegal re-entry into the United States by a previously deported alien.
According to United States Attorney David J. Freed, Eulogio Perez-Reyes, age 34, of Mexico, was previously deported from the United States to Mexico in March 2009. He is alleged to have illegally re-entered the United States sometime after March 2009, and was found in the United States in York County, Pennsylvania after eluding examination or inspection by immigration officers.
Francisco Noj-Pirir, age 25, of Guatemala, was previously deported from the United States to Guatemala in April 2013. He is alleged to have illegally re-entered the United States sometime after April 2013, and was found in the United States in Monroe County, Pennsylvania after eluding examination or inspection by immigration officers.
Jose Concepcion-Hernandez, age 34, of Mexico, was previously deported from the United States to Mexico twice in May 2007. He is alleged to have illegally re-entered the United States sometime after May 2007, and was found in the United States in Adams County, Pennsylvania after eluding examination or inspection by immigration officers.
Under federal law, Perez-Reyes, Noj-Pirir, and Concepcion-Hernandez all face a maximum penalty of two years of imprisonment, a term of supervised release following imprisonment, and a fine.
Jesus San Juan-Rodriguez, age 29, of Mexico, was previously deported from the United States to Mexico in September 2015. He is alleged to have illegally re-entered the United States sometime after September 2015, and was found in the United States in Adams County, Pennsylvania after eluding examination or inspection by immigration officers. In September 2013, he was convicted in the Adams County Court of Common Pleas of Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol- second offense, an offense which subjects him to enhanced penalties in the current case.
Because of San Juan-Rodriguez’s previous conviction, under federal law he faces a maximum penalty of ten years of imprisonment, a term of supervised release following imprisonment, and a fine.
These cases were investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO). Special Assistant United States Attorney Brian G. McDonnell is prosecuting the cases.
Indictments and Criminal Informations are only allegations. All persons charged are presumed to be innocent unless and until found guilty in court.
A sentence following a finding of guilt is imposed by the Judge after consideration of the applicable federal sentencing statutes and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.
Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the Judge is also required to consider and weigh a number of factors, including the nature, circumstances and seriousness of the offense; the history and characteristics of the defendant; and the need to punish the defendant, protect the public and provide for the defendant's educational, vocational and medical needs. For these reasons, the statutory maximum penalty for the offense is not an accurate indicator of the potential sentence for a specific defendant.
