Illegal alien caught in Iowa and convicted of child endangerment and domestic abuse sent to prison

Federal courthouse, Northern District of Iowa in Cedar Rapids

CEDAR RAPIDS – A man who illegally returned to the United States after being deported and was convicted of violent crimes while here was sentenced this week to eight months in federal prison.

Avelino Zacarias-Bail, age 27, a citizen of Guatemala illegally present in the United States and residing in Waterloo, Iowa, received the prison term after a January 9, 2020 guilty plea to one count of illegal reentry into the United States.

At the guilty plea, Zacarias-Bail admitted he had previously been deported from the United States in December 2015 and illegally reentered the United States without the permission of the United States government. In August 2019, Zacarias-Bail’s illegal presence in the United States came to the attention of immigration agents following his arrest in Black Hawk County, Iowa, on state criminal charges. Zacarias-Bail was later convicted in December 2019 of child endangerment and domestic abuse assault causing bodily injury.

Zacarias-Bail was sentenced in Cedar Rapids by United States District Court Judge C.J. Williams. Zacarias-Bail was sentenced to eight months’ imprisonment. He must also serve a one-year term of supervised release after the prison term. There is no parole in the federal system.

Zacarias-Bail is being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until he can be transported to a federal prison.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Daniel C. Tvedt and investigated by Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Enforcement and Removal Operations.
