HARRISBURG, PA.- On Thursday, March 27, 2025, a Federal Grand Jury for the Middle District of Pennsylvania returned an indictment charging Daniel Martinez-Canjay, 34, a Mexican national residing illegally in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, with one count of Illegal Reentry into the United States by a Previously Deported Alien.
If convicted at trial, Martinez-Canjay faces a maximum of two years in federal prison, at least one year of supervised release, and a $250,000 fine. Upon release from prison and upon a finding of guilt, Martinez-Canjay will face immediate deportation proceedings and be removed from the United States.

According to Acting U.S. Attorney John C. Gurganus and charging information unsealed in the indictment, it is alleged that around November 13, 2024, Martinez-Canjay was found illegally in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, after having previously been removed from the United States.
