MARTINSBURG, WEST VIRGINIA – An El Salvador man has been indicted by a federal grand jury on a reentry of a removed alien charge, Acting United States Attorney Betsy Steinfeld Jividen announced.

Jose Angel Gabriel Palma-Erazo, age 31, was indicted on one count of “Reentry of Removed Alien.” Palma-Erazo, having previously been removed from Texas, allegedly was found in Berkeley County in June 2017 without consent.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Lara K. Omps-Botteicher is prosecuting the case on behalf of the government. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office are investigating.

An indictment is merely an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
