Illegal alien indicted on reentry charge

CLARKSBURG, WEST VIRGINIA – Jesus Sinaca-Ambrose, a citizen of Mexico, was indicted by a federal grand jury today on a reentry charge, United States Attorney Bill Powell announced.

Sinaca-Ambrose, age 30, was indicted on one count of “Reentry of Removed Alien.” Sinaca-Ambrose is accused of being in Berkeley County in July 2019 after being removed twice for being in the country illegally.

Sinaca-Ambrose faces up to two years 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 Jeffrey A. Finucane is prosecuting the case on behalf of the government. The Department of Homeland Security Immigrations and Customs Enforcement and the Martinsburg Police Department investigated. 

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