Three Individuals Charged with Illegal Re-Entry and Other Offenses

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Three individuals were indicted by a federal grand jury in separate cases this week for illegally re-entering the United States after they were previously deported.

Mexican National Indicted for Illegal Reentry

According to an indictment returned this week, Jesus Enriquez-Vasquez, 32, who was previously removed from the United States on January 24, 2019, was charged with illegal reentry by a previously deported alien.  He has never applied to the Attorney General of the United States and/or the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security for permission to reenter the United States.  On March 3, 2025, he was found voluntarily back in the United States.

Guatemalan National Charged in Indictment

In addition, Victor Hugo Vasquez Perez, 31, a citizen of Guatemala residing in Independence, Mo.,  was found illegally present in the United States and charged with possession of a fraudulent immigration document, possession of identification documents unlawfully produced, and improper entry.  

Honduran National Charged in Indictment

In addition, Noe Alberto Hernandez-Perez, 31, a citizen of Honduras residing in Kansas City, Mo.,  was charged with illegal reentry by a previously deported alien and resisting and impeding an officer.

According to the indictment, Hernandez-Perez was previously removed from the United States on June 12, 2015. He has never applied to the Attorney General of the United States and/or the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security for permission to reenter the United States. On March 16, 2025, he was found voluntarily back in the United States.   

The charges contained in these indictments are simply accusations, and not evidence of guilt. Evidence supporting the charges must be presented to a federal trial jury, whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.

These cases were investigated by ICE Homeland Security Investigations.
