SPRINGFIELD, Mo. - Tom Larson, Acting United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced that a Honduran national was indicted by a federal grand jury today for illegally reentering the United States.
Luis Arnold Lopez-Lara, 25, a citizen of Honduras residing in Brookline, Mo., was charged in an indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Springfield, Mo.
Today’s indictment alleges that Lopez-Lara entered the United States without permission after having been deported on Feb. 16, 2010. Lopez-Lara was found in Greene County, Mo., on April 17, 2017.
Larson cautioned that the charge contained in this indictment is simply an accusation, and not evidence of guilt.
This case is being prosecuted by Supervisory Assistant U.S. Attorney Randall D. Eggert and Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven M. Mohlhenrich. It was investigated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations.
