A Dominican national has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Boston for illegally reentering the United States after deportation. Keilyn Adolfo Rivera, aged 45, faces one count of unlawful reentry of a deported alien.
The charging documents state that Rivera was found in the United States on or about February 2, 2025, despite being deported to the Dominican Republic on March 6, 2015.
If convicted, the charge could result in a sentence of up to 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a fine reaching $250,000. Upon completing any imposed sentence, Rivera would be subject to deportation. Sentences are determined by a federal district court judge based on U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and relevant statutes.
The announcement was made by United States Attorney Leah B. Foley and Patricia H. Hyde, Field Office Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations in Boston. Assistant U.S. Attorney Lauren Maynard from the Major Crimes Unit is handling the prosecution.
It is important to note that "the details contained in the charging documents are allegations," and "the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law."
