A Guatemalan national residing unlawfully in Springfield, Massachusetts, has been charged with illegal reentry into the United States after deportation. Noe Yonildo Ambrocio-Perez, 38, known by several aliases including “Noe Perez” and “Rodolfo Lopez Velasquez,” faces one count of unlawful reentry of a deported alien. He was arrested on July 3, 2025, and remains in federal custody following an initial court appearance.
Court filings reveal that Ambrocio-Perez entered the U.S. illegally three times before being removed. His first encounter with immigration authorities occurred in 2002 under the alias “Rodolfo Lopez-Velazquez.” After a voluntary removal process, he allegedly reentered the country and faced multiple arrests in Springfield for various offenses between 2008 and 2010.
In 2012, Ambrocio-Perez was arrested for erratic driving and provided multiple breath alcohol test samples indicating intoxication. Convicted of motor vehicle crimes in 2013, he was later released on recognizance but failed to appear for immigration proceedings. An Immigration Judge ordered his removal to Guatemala in absentia.
Ambrocio-Perez’s legal troubles continued with a 2015 arrest in West Palm Beach, Florida, where he presented a Guatemalan consular ID under an alias with outstanding warrants. Pleading guilty to driving without a license, he served jail time before being deported again.
Despite these removals, it is alleged that Ambrocio-Perez returned illegally twice more. In May 2025, he was arrested once more in Springfield after crashing his vehicle and attempting to flee the scene.
The charge against him carries potential penalties of up to ten years imprisonment, three years supervised release, and fines up to $250,000. Deportation is likely upon sentence completion.
The announcement came from United States Attorney Leah B. Foley and Patricia H. Hyde of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Boston office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven H. Breslow is prosecuting the case.
“The details contained in the charging documents are allegations,” officials noted. “The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.”
