Illegal Immigrant Sentenced For Reentering the United States

A Guatemalan national was sentenced on May 23, 2025, for illegally reentering the United States after previously having been deported.

According to court documents, Maynor Tecum-Tecum, 42, was encountered by deputies from the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office for a traffic violation in Mobile County. The deputies suspected that Tecum-Tecum might not be a United States citizen, so they contacted law enforcement personnel from the United States Border Patrol (USBP). USBP confirmed that Tecum-Tecum had been previously removed from the United States in 2010. He had also been convicted of Illegal Entry that same year.

At sentencing, Judge Dubose imposed a time-served sentence and a 1-year term of supervised release upon his future release. Tecum-Tecum had been in custody since his arrest on February 18, 2025. Upon his release from prison, Tecum-Tecum is to be referred to immigration officials for deportation proceedings. Tecum-Tecum was ordered to pay $100 in special assessments.

U.S. Attorney Sean P. Costello of the Southern District of Alabama made the announcement.

The United States Border Patrol and Mobile County Sheriff’s Office investigated the case.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Jimmy L. Thomas prosecuted the case on behalf of the United States.

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.
