Criminal Alien Child Sex Offender Sentenced for Illegally Reentering the United States

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah - A three-time removed illegal alien and convicted child sex offender from Mexico was sentenced today to 41 months' imprisonment by Senior U.S. District Court Judge Dale A. Kimball for illegally reentering the United States.

Isidro De Jesus-Mayo, 44, of Mexico, was charged by felony information on December 17, 2025. In addition to his term of imprisonment, the court imposed a sentence of three years of supervised release. Upon his release of imprisonment, De Jesus-Mayo will be remanded to the custody of the Federal Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement for deportation proceedings.

According to court documents and statements made at De Jesus-Mayo's sentencing hearing, on a date unknown to law enforcement, De Jesus-Mayo illegally reentered the United States and was encountered in Layton, Utah, while driving under the influence and attempting to provide a false name to officers. Between 2007 and 2021, De Jesus-Mayo was deported from the United States on three occasions. His most recent deportation in 2021 followed a federal conviction for illegal reentry, in which he received 16 months' imprisonment. De Jesus-Mayo has an extensive criminal history in the United States that includes narcotics trafficking and the sexual abuse of a 13-year-old victim spanning several months. De Jesus-Mayo was more than 31-years-old at the time of the abuse. For public safety reasons, De Jesus-Mayo, has a lifetime sex offender registration requirement in Utah.

"This administration and our office remain focused on swiftly prosecuting and deporting criminal public safety threats like De Jesus-Mayo," said U.S. Attorney Melissa Holyoak of the District of Utah.

"The ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations, Salt Lake City Field Office is committed to help keep our communities safe by finding, apprehending, and removing criminal illegal aliens," said acting Field Office Director Brian Henke. "We appreciate partnering with the United States Attorney's Office in further prosecuting these lawbreakers."

The case was investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Assistant United States Attorney Bryan N. Reeves of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Utah prosecuted the case.

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.
