A Guatemalan national residing unlawfully in Springfield, Massachusetts, has been charged with illegal reentry into the United States after deportation. Noe Yonildo Ambrocio-Perez, 38, also known by various aliases including “Noe Perez” and “Rodolfo Lopez Velasquez,” faces one count of unlawful reentry of a deported alien. Ambrocio-Perez was arrested on July 3, 2025, and remains in federal custody following an initial court appearance.
Court filings reveal that Ambrocio-Perez has illegally entered and been removed from the U.S. three times prior. His first encounter with immigration authorities was in 2002 when he used the alias “Rodolfo Lopez-Velazquez” to enter the country and was processed for voluntary removal.
Allegedly, Ambrocio-Perez reentered the U.S. thereafter. In July 2008, he faced arrest in Springfield for assaulting his girlfriend while intoxicated. In subsequent incidents through 2010, he was involved in other legal issues including motor vehicle violations and public intoxication under different aliases.
By 2012, Ambrocio-Perez faced further charges related to erratic driving behavior and motor vehicle crimes which led to a conviction in 2013. Post-release from state custody, immigration authorities arrested him again but released him on recognizance for pending proceedings; however, he failed to appear at these proceedings leading to an in absentia removal order.
In West Palm Beach, Florida during 2015, Ambrocio-Perez was again apprehended for traffic violations using another alias “Noe Perez.” After pleading guilty to driving without a license and serving a brief jail sentence, he was deported back to Guatemala.
Despite previous removals, allegations state that Ambrocio-Perez reentered the U.S. multiple times subsequently with arrests noted as recent as May 2025 in Springfield after fleeing a vehicular accident scene.
The charge of unlawful reentry could result in up to ten years imprisonment along with fines up to $250,000 upon sentencing by a federal district court judge based on guidelines governing criminal case sentences. The defendant may face deportation post-sentence completion.
The announcement came from United States Attorney Leah B. Foley alongside Patricia H. Hyde of ICE’s Enforcement Operations Boston Field Office; prosecution is led by Assistant U.S Attorney Steven H Breslow at Springfield Branch Office.
It should be noted that details within charging documents are currently allegations; innocence is presumed until guilt is proven beyond reasonable doubt legally.
