A Guatemalan national, Jasson Humberto Marroquin Moro, was sentenced on March 16 in federal court in Boston for unlawfully reentering the United States after being deported.

The case highlights ongoing efforts by federal authorities to address illegal reentry cases and enforce immigration laws. Marroquin Moro, age 30, received a sentence of time served—approximately four months in prison—and now faces deportation proceedings.

According to court records, Marroquin Moro pleaded guilty to unlawful reentry of a deported alien during the hearing before U.S. District Court Judge Myong J. Joun. He had previously been indicted by a federal grand jury in June 2025. Authorities found him in the United States on or about May 6, 2025, after he had been deported to Guatemala on or about June 3, 2014.

United States Attorney Leah B. Foley and Patricia H. Hyde, Acting Field Office Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations in Boston announced the sentencing. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Lauren Maynard and Julissa Walsh from the Major Crimes Unit prosecuted the case.

The outcome underscores continued enforcement actions against individuals who return to the United States after removal and signals that such offenses will be prosecuted through the federal court system.
