HARRISBURG, PA.- A 35-year-old Mexican National who had been deported in 2019 was indicted by a Federal Grand Jury on Wednesday, August 28, 2024, for reentering the United States illegally after he was found and taken into custody in Lebanon County, Pennslyvania.

     According to U.S. Attorney Gerard M. Karam, a federal grand jury sitting in the Middle District of Pennsylvania in Harrisburg returned the indictment against Ulises Perez-Herrera, 35, a Mexican National, on a charge of Illegal Reentry into the United States by a Previously Deported Alien.

     According to documents unsealed in the indictment and filed with the court, Perez-Herrera was previously removed from the United States on June 15, 2019, through Hidalgo, Texas.
