Mexican Citizen Charged with Human Smuggling

Portland, Maine: Acting United States Attorney Richard W. Murphy announced that on July 26, 2017, Silvino ORDUNA-Cabrera, a 40 year old Mexican citizen, made his initial appearance in U.S. District Court in Portland, Maine with respect to a criminal complaint charging alien smuggling. In addition, two other Mexican citizens who had previously been removed from the United States appeared with respect to complaints charging them with re-entry after removal. An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Deportation Officer arrested the defendants in Maine.

A criminal complaint is merely an accusation and a defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
