On April 18, Enrique Orozco-Villegas, 28, of San Luis, Sonara, Mexico, was sentenced on charges of reentry of a deported alien, aggravated identity theft and false claim of U.S. citizenship.
Orozco-Villegas was ordered deported and was removed from the United States in June 2007 and March 2009. He subsequently illegally reentered the United States. While in Wyoming, Orozco-Villegas purchased the identifying information of a United States citizen, including his name, date of birth and social security number. In June 2010, Orozco-Villegas used the false identity when he applied for employment with an oil field services company in Wyoming. He completed an Employment Eligibility Verification form and claimed to be a U.S. citizen. The company sent him to work in North Dakota. He also opened a bank account in Dickinson, ND, under the false identity.
The victim whose information had been purchased, was notified by the Internal Revenue Service that his income was under-reported. The victim was also notified by his bank of an overdraft. This lead to the arrest, prosecution, and conviction of Orozco-Villegas.
Orozco-Villegas was sentenceed to serve one month in federal prison on the charges of reentry of a deported alien and false claim of U.S. citizenship and to serve a two year consecutive sentence on the charge of aggravated identity theft, to be followed by one year of supervised release. He was ordered to pay restitution of $728 to the victim and to pay a $300 special assessment to the Crime Victim's Fund.
