Three Defendants Charged with Federal Immigration Crimes

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - A federal grand jury in Birmingham has charged three individuals with immigration crimes, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Catherine L. Crosby.

The following defendants were indicted for illegally reentering the United States after having previously been deported:

• Jacob Garcia Martinez, 41, a citizen of Mexico; and
• Jose Sanchez-Flores, 31, a citizen of Mexico;

Jorge Alexis Campos-Dolores, 30, a citizen of Mexico, was charged with being an alien in possession of a firearm.

This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.

An indictment contains only charges. A defendant is presumed innocent unless, and until, proven guilty.
