BOSTON - A Salvadoran national was charged today in federal court in Boston with a federal immigration crime.
Amilcar Menjivar Umana, 38, was charged today with one count of illegal reentry after deportation. Menjivar Umana was previously deported on March 20, 2014. On May 12, 2017, law enforcement encountered Menjivar Umana and determined him to be illegally present in the United States.
Menjivar Umana 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 Suzanne Sullivan Jacobus of Weinreb’s Major Crimes Unit is prosecuting the case.
