Juan Hernandez-Payan/Honduras/Crimes Against Person, Illegal Reentry

Federal immigration authorities arrested criminal illegal alien Juan Hernandez-Payan in Rochester, Minnesota, based on prior convictions for crimes against a person and illegal reentry after removal. Hernandez-Payan, a national of Honduras, was previously prosecuted for violating federal immigration statutes that classify certain unlawful reentries as aggravated felonies when connected to prior deportation orders.

Court records show Hernandez-Payan had been convicted of violent offenses against another individual before his removal from the United States. After illegally reentering the country, he was located in Rochester, where local officers coordinated with federal agents to execute the arrest. Authorities verified his criminal history and immigration violations before transferring him to federal custody.

Hernandez-Payan remains detained while officials evaluate his case and pursue formal removal proceedings.
