HARRISBURG – The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that Marvin Agustin-Vasquez, age 39, of Guatemala, was indicted yesterday by a federal grand jury on a charge of illegal reentry into the United States by a previously deported alien. 

According to United States Attorney Gerard M. Karam, the indictment alleges that Agustin-Vasquez was removed from the United States on May 28, 2021, and it is alleged that he reentered the United States without first obtaining legal permission to do so. The indictment  alleges that on June 28, 2022, Agustin-Vasquez was found in Dauphin County.   

The case was investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Removal Operations and the Harrisburg Bureau of Police. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jaime M. Keating is prosecuting the case.

The maximum penalty under federal law for this offense is 10 years of imprisonment, a term of supervised release following imprisonment, and a fine. A sentence following a finding of guilt is imposed by the Judge after consideration of the applicable federal sentencing statutes and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.

Indictments and Criminal Informations are only allegations. All persons charged are presumed to be innocent unless and until found guilty in court.
