Illegal Alien from Guatemala to be Deported Again

CONCORD, NH — A man from Guatemala is likely to be deported again after being arrested earlier this year for illegally re-entering the United States, according to the U.S. District Court.

Mario Enrique Lopez was sentenced last week after pleading guilty to illegally reentering the country after having been previously deported. According to U.S. Attorney Emily Gray Rice, Lopez was identified during a traffic stop in Greenland on June 14, 2016. A deportation officer later determined that he was citizen of Guatemala who previously had been deported from the United States.

"Lopez, who was arrested on July 7, and has been in custody since that time, was sentenced to time served. He faces likely deportation," she noted.
