CHICAGO – An undocumented immigrant who was previously deported three times for serious criminal convictions has been charged in Chicago with illegally re-entering the United States, federal prosecutors announced.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Chicago charged Salvador Guerrero-Lopez, 42, with one count of unlawful re-entry after removal in a federal indictment issued on Monday.
Guerrero-Lopez, who had been living in Island Lake, was arrested on May 30.
Authorities said he was previously deported to Mexico in 2004, 2011, and 2021 after being convicted of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor in California and narcotics distribution in Arkansas.
He was apprehended after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations in Eagle Pass, Texas, requested assistance from Chicago law enforcement in locating and arresting him.
Guerrero-Lopez was being investigated in Texas for suspected criminal activity, according to officials.
If convicted, he could face up to 20 years in federal prison and a fine of $250,000. He could be deported again.
An arraignment date in federal court in Chicago has not been set.
