Alien Sentenced For Illegal Re-entry

ALBANY, NEW YORK – Jesus Vasquez-Loyola (28, of Valatie, NY) was sentenced today to serve 14 months in prison by Chief United States District Court Judge Gary L. Sharpe announced United States Attorney Richard S. Hartunian and the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Vasquez-Loyola had been previously removed to Mexico five times, most recently in July 2012 after his conviction in the Northern District of New York for illegally entering the United States after removal.

The case was investigated by the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Albany, NY.
