A Colombian citizen was discovered in Pennsylvania after being deported twice in 2020 and 2022.
Heyder Molina Prieto, aged 37, was arrested by the Monroeville and St. Clair police departments on November 27, 2024. The indictment on one charge of illegal re-entry of a removed alien was announced by Acting United States Attorney Troy Rivetti on January 22.
According to the Department of Justice (DOJ), Prieto was discovered in western Pennsylvania after being deported from the United States in June 2020 and again in March 2022.
A woman who was wanted by the police was apprehended at a Target store in Pennsylvania. According to the police report, she was found in possession of stolen goods worth $600.
Prieto could potentially be sentenced to a maximum of two years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, or both. The severity of her offense and any previous criminal record she may have would be taken into consideration when determining the exact sentence.
According to the DOJ, Assistant United States Attorney Rebecca L. Silinski is prosecuting this case on behalf of the United States.
