PHILADELPHIA, PA – United States Attorney William M. McSwain
announced today that Juan Ramon-Vasquez, a citizen of Honduras, was
sentenced today to 21 months’ imprisonment, to be served consecutive to
his state sentence, for his federal crime of illegal reentry to the
United States after deportation. The federal sentence was imposed by
United States District Judge Nitza I. Quiñones Alejandro. In May 2009,
Ramon-Vasquez was deported from the United States to Honduras. In March
2014, he was found back in the United States by U.S. Department of
Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”)
officers. At that time, Ramon-Vasquez was in the custody of the
Philadelphia Department of Prisons.
The City of Philadelphia thereafter chose not to comply with a
detainer lodged by ICE for Ramon-Vasquez, who was instead released from
custody by the Philadelphia Department of Prisons. After his release,
Ramon-Vasquez proceeded to repeatedly rape a young child. The defendant
is currently serving a sentence of 8 to 20 years in state prison for
the rapes.
