The U.S. Embassy in Mexico has issued a warning through its social media about the severe legal consequences faced by those who attempt to re-enter the United States without proper documentation after being deported.
In its post, the embassy emphasizes the “seriousness” of these actions and the penalties applied.
“The United States is arresting illegal immigrants who have illegally re-entered the country. Illegally re-entering the U.S. after being deported has serious legal consequences, including jail time. Two years in prison for illegal re-entry. #Don’tEverTryIt,” it states on its social media.
The image accompanying the post also highlights the two-year prison sentence for those who attempt to re-enter the country without documents after being deported. This message is clear and forceful, seeking to discourage people from attempting to re-enter the country without complying with the legal requirements.
