Vasquez-Loyola had been previously removed to Mexico five times, most recently in July 2012 after his conviction in the Northern District of New York for illegally entering the United States after removal.

The case was investigated by the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Albany, NY.
