BURLINGTON, VT.- A 42-year-old Mexican national, illegally residing in Vermont, is facing up to two years in federal prison after being charged on Monday with unlawfully being in the United States.

According To The Charging Information Filed In The Complaint
According to the charging information filed in the criminal complaint, Hernandez-Hernandez was removed from the United States on four separate occasions between 2013 and 2020. It is alleged that Hernandez-Hernandez, at an unknown date and at an unknown location, illegally reentered the United States without permission or legal authorization to do so.
