Fort Myers, Florida – United States Attorney Roger B. Handberg announces the return of an indictment charging Edgar Rolando Suruy-Xiquin, a/k/a Marvin Martinez-Vazquez (30, Guatemala), with illegal reentry by a deported alien. If convicted, Suruy-Xiquin faces a maximum penalty of two years in federal prison. Suruy-Xiquin was arraigned on the charges on January 28, 2025. His trial is set for March 3, 2025.
According to the indictment, Suruy-Xiquin was previously deported from the United States on four occasions. Following his most recent removal, he did not receive the consent of the Attorney General or the Secretary of Homeland Security to reapply for admission to the United States. On January 13, 2025, Suruy-Xiquin was found to be voluntarily in the United States.
An indictment is merely a formal charge that a defendant has committed one or more violations of federal criminal law, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless, and until, proven guilty.
This case is being investigated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Patrick L. Darcey.
