Two individuals accused of reentering the United States illegally after deportation to commit crimes have been indicted this week.
Javier Aguilera Rosas, 42, currently residing in Los Angeles, was indicted by a federal grand jury for allegedly returning to the U.S. and creating fake Social Security cards and driver’s license numbers for others.
Court documents reveal that Rosas assisted in the transfer of counterfeit Social Security cards and driver’s licenses to multiple individuals. He had been deported in 2009 for felony forgery.
If convicted, he could potentially face 15 years in state prison and a $250,000 fine.
The FBI conducted the investigation, and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicole Moody is handling the prosecution, according to the press release.
Earlier this week, an undocumented immigrant and his alleged partner were accused of robbing eight convenience stores within a span of five months.
Daniel Pavon, 20, and Jesus Soto-Parada, 26, were apprehended on June 13 after fleeing from a 7-Eleven they purportedly robbed in Gardena, a suburb of Los Angeles, as outlined in a federal court complaint.
