BOSTON - A Guatemalan national was charged today in federal court in Boston with illegally reentering the United States after being deported.
Nestor Mendez Nolasco, 26, was charged today with one count of illegal reentry after deportation. Mendez Nolasco was previously deported on Jan. 31, 2013, April 9, 2013, and July 7, 2013. On April 25, 2017, Mendez was arrested in Hopkinton on an unrelated state charge.
Mendez faces a sentence of no greater than 10 years in prison, three years of supervised release, a fine of $250,000, and will be subject to deportation upon completion of his sentence. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
Acting United States Attorney William D. Weinreb and Matthew J. Etre, Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations in Boston, made the announcement today. Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicholas Soivilien of Weinreb’s Major Crimes Unit is prosecuting this case.
