Priors
include Felony Assault
Tucson, Ariz. – A 33-year-old male from
Calvillo, Aguascalientes, Mexico, apprehended by Naco Station Border Patrol
agents in October 2011, was sentenced May 14, 2012, to 37 months of
confinement.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office prosecuted
Jose Luis Juarez-Landeros, previously convicted on felony charges, for
illegally re-entering the United States. During processing in October, agents
using the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS)
learned Juarez-Landeros had multiple convictions for “menacing with a real or
simulated deadly weapon” and felony assault in October 2008 out of Mesa County,
Colo.
Following the Border Patrol’s initial
processing, the case was submitted to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for
prosecution. Juarez-Landeros will be formally removed from the U.S. following
his 37-month incarceration and is now banned for life from any legalization
process.
All illegal immigrants apprehended by
the Border Patrol undergo criminal history checks using IAFIS. This vital tool
accesses criminal records throughout the United States, enabling agents to
quickly identify violent criminals and wanted persons.
As part of a targeted enforcement
strategy, the Tucson Sector places individuals into impact programs designed to
influence their decision not to commit a subsequent illegal entry. One impact
program involves individuals with prior criminal convictions being prosecuted
in federal court.
Customs and Border Protection welcomes
assistance from the community. Citizens can report suspicious activity and
remain anonymous by calling the Border Patrol at (877) 872-7435 toll free.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is
the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged
with the management, control and protection of our nation's borders at and
between official ports of entry. CBP is charged with keeping terrorists and
terrorist weapons out of the country while enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws.
