Las Vegas, NV - Two Mexican nationals, Alfredo Covarrubias-Jimenez, 39, and Victor Manuel Navarro-Quesada, 34, are now facing federal charges for allegedly re-entering the United States after prior deportations. Court documents detail that both men are citizens of Mexico. They have reportedly been removed from the U.S. on multiple occasions prior to their latest alleged unauthorized entry.
Covarrubias-Jimenez could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted, alongside supervised release and financial penalties. Navarro-Quesada, should he be convicted under similar terms, faces a potential sentence of up to 10 years. Both are charged with a single count of being a deported alien found within the U.S. The U.S. Attorney's office for the District of Nevada is prosecuting these cases.
Further Cases Unfold
In a related development, four other Mexican nationals have also been charged with illegal re-entry. These individuals—Laurentino Salvador Juarez-Martinez, Serguio Raudel Contreras-Torres, Brandon Castanon-Bautista, and Pablo Covarrubias-Islas—made initial court appearances.
