Feds Charge Norristown Man With Illegal Reentry After Deportation

NORRISTOWN, PA - A Norristown resident who was deported in 2010 has been charged with illegal reentry, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

Jose Alberto Guadalupe-Ascencion, 30, is a native of Mexico.

If convicted of illegal reentry, he faces a maximum sentence of ten years in prison.

Guadalupe-Ascencion did not commit a crime once he was in the United States, but entered the country illegally on multiple occasions, officials allege.

Guadalupe-Ascencion entered the country illegally on December 3, 2010, February 2, 2012, June 6, 2012, and September 23, 2012, according to the attorney’s office.

The case was investigated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Enforcement and Removal Operations (“ERO”), and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Joan E. Burnes.
