佐治亚州南区联邦大陪审团起诉5人：被控遣返后再次入境，分别在五个县落网
美国司法部佐治亚州南区联邦检察官办公室11月13日宣布，该区联邦大陪审团11月庭期起诉5名被告，指控他们犯有遣返后再次入境（Re-entry after Removal or Deportation）罪名，这一指控适用于此前至少被遣返过一次、之后又身在美国的人。起诉由佐治亚州南区联邦检察官 Margaret E. “Meg” Heap 宣布。
被起诉的5人是：Ruben Canos-Bences，47岁，墨西哥公民，在 Glynn County 落网；Evelio Gomez-Mateo，又名 Alexander Gomez，45岁，危地马拉公民，在 Effingham County 落网；Roger Hernandez-Perez，32岁，墨西哥公民，在 Effingham County 落网；Hilario Jimenez-Jimenez，27岁，危地马拉公民，在 Coffee County 落网；Alexis Yahir Itehua-Salas，24岁，墨西哥公民，在 Richmond County 落网。检察官办公室称，5人均被指非法身在美国。
据检察官办公室介绍，遣返后再次入境罪名的法定刑罚最高为2年监禁，刑满后移交移民当局遣返；如果被告是在犯下重罪或加重重罪之后被遣返的，法定刑罚会显著加重。
这些案件由国土安全调查局（HSI）、移民执法局（ICE）与地方执法机构调查，由佐治亚州南区助理联邦检察官 Olivia C. Brame、Bradley R. Thompson 与 Joshua Kyle Davis 负责起诉。起诉书只载有指控，被告在法院证明有罪之前均被推定无罪。
Federal Grand Jury in Southern District of Georgia Indicts Five for Re-entry After Removal or Deportation
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Georgia announced on November 13 that multiple defendants have been indicted by the November term of the federal grand jury in the Southern District of Georgia for re-entry after removal or deportation, a charge applied to a person present in the United States after at least one prior removal. U.S. Attorney Margaret E. “Meg” Heap announced the indictments in Savannah, Georgia.
Those facing federal charges are: Ruben Canos-Bences, 47, a citizen of Mexico, apprehended in Glynn County; Evelio Gomez-Mateo, also known as Alexander Gomez, 45, a citizen of Guatemala, apprehended in Effingham County; Roger Hernandez-Perez, 32, a citizen of Mexico, apprehended in Effingham County; Hilario Jimenez-Jimenez, 27, a citizen of Guatemala, apprehended in Coffee County; and Alexis Yahir Itehua-Salas, 24, a citizen of Mexico, apprehended in Richmond County. The office said each was illegally in the United States.
According to the office, re-entry after removal or deportation charges carry statutory penalties of up to two years in prison, followed by referral to immigration authorities for deportation. If a defendant's removal was subsequent to a felony or aggravated felony, the statutory penalties can be significantly more severe.
The cases are being investigated by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and local law enforcement agencies, and are being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Olivia C. Brame, Bradley R. Thompson and Joshua Kyle Davis for the Southern District of Georgia. Criminal indictments contain only charges; defendants are considered innocent unless and until proven guilty.
