St. Thomas, USVI – United States Attorney Gretchen C.F. Shappert for the District of the Virgin Islands announced today that Gilberto Arana Wence was arrested on July 10, 2020 and charged with illegal re-entry by a removed alien.

According to court documents, Wence was departing St. Thomas for Charlotte, North Carolina and then on to San Francisco, California when U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers determined he was not lawfully present in the United States. Based on record checks conducted using Wence’s fingerprints, officers discovered that he had previously been removed from the United States under a different name.

An initial appearance in federal court occurred on July 13, 2020.

The case is being investigated by Homeland Security Investigations and U.S. Customs and Border Patrol. It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Adam Sleeper.

United States Attorney Gretchen C.F. Shappert reminds the public that a criminal complaint is merely a formal charging document and is not evidence of guilt. Every defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

Not much info but I was pleased to see that the Virigin Islands as a port of entry was being screened for entry of illegals (not just Mexico).

The Virigin Islands also had this case - money being smuggled into US. I know that Bill/Hillary/Obama and other treasonous sharks pushed for taxpayer money to be delivered to foreign countries for various needs that never seemed to be met so the recipients could funnel the money back to the US via donations into orgs like The Clinton Foundation. I wondered how that was handled and maybe increased scrutiny on the part of the Trump adminstration means its taken in by boat?
