According to the Department of Justice, 55-year-old Santos Guzman is a citizen of the Dominican Republic who came to the United States at an unknown date and location. He was convicted back in 2019 for two state drug trafficking crimes, however. Guzman was then ordered to be removed from the United States in November 2019 and was deported to the Dominican Republic on January 7th, 2020.
At an unknown date and location, Guzman reentered the United States and was arrested on a new state drug trafficking offense in November 2021. A fingerprint from his removal document was compared to a fingerprint that was in connection with his arrest and they were an identical match.
Guzman was then indicted by a federal grand jury in December 2021. The charge of illegal reentry is a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a $250,000 fine.
