Marlo Alejandro Valdovinos-Guerra, a 32-year-old Mexican national, has been charged with illegally reentering the United States after being deported. He is facing one count of being a deported alien found in the U.S. His jury trial is scheduled for September 8, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Valdovinos-Guerra has been deported five times, most recently on December 2, 2024, but has returned to the U.S. multiple times. He has been convicted of crimes including inflicting injury on a spouse, damaging property, and was recently involved in a nightclub shooting. He now faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted. His trial will take place before U.S. District Judge Cristina D. Silva. The case is being handled by the U.S. Attorney’s Office and ICE, with investigations by the ICE Salt Lake City, Las Vegas Sub-Office.
A day before the scheduled court appearance, the public was invited to assist law enforcement by reporting crimes or suspicious activities through the DHS hotline or online tip form. Valdovinos-Guerra’s case is set for trial in September. Both the defense and prosecution are preparing for the court proceedings. The outcome may influence future discussions on immigration and border security, as reported by the U.S. Attorney's Office.
