ELKINS, WEST VIRGINIA - A federal grand jury returned indictments today charging four men found in Morgantown with illegal reentry into the United States, U.S. Attorney William J. Ihlenfeld, II, announced.
Selvin Garcia-Xitumul, 21, originally from Guatemala; Wilson Ariel Garcia-Guzman, 21, originally from Guatemala; Marco May-Cucil, 27, originally from Guatemala; and Javier Vargas-Zaldivar 32, originally from Honduras, were allegedly discovered in May 2016 in Monongalia County, West Virginia after previously having been deported from the country. They are each charged with one count of “Reentry of a Removed Alien." They each face up to two years in prison and a fine 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 Sarah W. Montoro is prosecuting the cases on behalf of the government. The United States Department of Homeland Security Immigrations and Customs Enforcement is investigating.
An indictment is merely an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
