United States Attorney David Metcalf announced that three men convicted of illegally reentering the United States after prior deportations were sentenced this week.
Hernan Molina-Perez, 33, a Honduran national, was sentenced by United States District Judge Chad F. Kenney yesterday to time served, approximately three months, for illegal reentry. Having completed his prison sentence, he again will be removed from the country.
Molina-Perez had been deported from the United States in October of 2007, following his arrest by the U.S. Border Patrol and the issuance of a removal order by an immigration judge.
In December of last year, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) learned that Molina-Perez was again in the country illegally, and had previously been arrested by the Philadelphia Police Department. ICE officers took Molina-Perez into custody in April. He was charged by information with illegal reentry in May and pleaded guilty this week, at which time he waived prosecution by indictment.
Oscar Navas-Rixtun, 37, a Guatemalan national, was sentenced by United States District Judge Wendy Beetlestone on Wednesday to four months in prison for illegal reentry. Upon the completion of his sentence, he again will be removed from the country
Navas-Rixtun had previously been deported in February 2020, after he was encountered by the U.S. Border Patrol and arrested for being in the country illegally.
In March of this year, ICE became aware that Navas-Rixtun was being held in the Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility in Philadelphia on arson and related charges. ICE officers took the defendant into custody the same month. In April, he was charged by indictment with illegal reentry and pleaded guilty in May.
Pedro Jimenez-Georges, aka Edwin Quezada Jimenez and Jose Quezada, 40, a Dominican national, was sentenced by United States District Judge Juan R. Sánchez on Monday to time served, approximately three months, for illegally reentering the United States. Having completed his prison sentence, he again will be removed from the country.
Jimenez-Georges had previously been deported in October 2018, pursuant to a removal order issued after he failed to appear at a June 2008 immigration hearing in Texas.
In March of this year, ICE received information that Jimenez-Georges may be living in Philadelphia. After conducting surveillance to verify the defendant's identity and location, ICE arrested the defendant. In May, he was charged by information with illegal reentry and pleaded guilty this week, waiving prosecution by indictment.
These cases are part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime. Operation Take Back America streamlines efforts and resources from the Department's Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETFs) and Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN).
The cases were investigated by ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations and are being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Judy Smith, Robert Eckert, and Lindsey Mills.
