Description:

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with Illegally reentering the U.S.
Dominican Man Who Illegally Entered the U.S. After Multiple Prior Deportations Sentenced to 21 Months in Prison

Jesus Del Orbe, aka “Angel Cabrera-Santiago” and “Jesus Valdez-Del Orbe,” 55, a Dominican citizen who had been residing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, indicted for illegally reentering the United States after deportation.

Del Orbe was charged by indictment in August of last year, and in November, pleaded guilty to the charge against him. He had previously been convicted of illegal reentry in 2017, in the District of Puerto Rico, and 2019, in the Southern District of Texas.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers located the defendant working at a Philadelphia tire shop, where he was arrested in July 2024. According to immigration records, the defendant previously had been removed from the United States on three prior occasions — on or about March 1, 2016, February 20, 2018, and November 17, 2020 — and had not sought permission to reenter.

“If you’re going to keep breaking the law, we’re going to keep prosecuting you,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Thayer. “Mr. Del Orbe has repeatedly and deliberately entered the United States illegally, in contravention of our immigration laws. We will continue to work to hold such serial lawbreakers accountable.”

“The repeated illegal reentry by Jesus Del Orbe demonstrates a flagrant disregard for our nation’s immigration laws. This sentence underscores our commitment to upholding the rule of law and integrity of our immigration system,” said ERO Philadelphia Acting Field Office Director Brian McShane. “We remain steadfast in our efforts to collaborate with federal authorities to ensure that those who violate our laws are held accountable. Our focus will always be on maintaining the safety and security of our communities.”

The case was investigated by ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney John J. Boscia.
