Illegal Alien indicted for fourth reentry

WHEELING, WEST VIRGINIA – Mario Casiero-Antonio, a citizen of Mexico, is facing an illegal reentry charge, U.S. Attorney Bill Powell announced.

Casiero-Antonio, also known as “Mario Antonio Cajero,” 33, was indicted on one count of “Reentry of Removed Aliens.” Casiero-Antonio, having been removed three times from illegal entry to the United States in October and December 2008, is accused of being in Berkeley County in September 2020 without approved admission to the U.S.

Casiero-Antonio faces up to two years of incarceration and a fine of up to $250 ,000. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed will be based upon the seriousness of the offenses and the prior criminal history, if any, of the defendant.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Eleanor F. Hurney is prosecuting the case on behalf of the government. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement investigated.

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