Two of 33 workers arrested during last week's immigration raid at the new federal courthouse in Richmond will appear in court this afternoon on criminal charges of reentering the country after being deported and possessing a fake resident alien card.

Hugo Dominguez Cano, 33, of Mexico, was charged reentering the U.S. after being deported in March 2006, according to a federal affidavit.

The other worker, Juan Perez-Hernandez, 23, also from Mexico, was charged with possessing a counterfeit alien resident card with a registration number assigned to someone else.

So far, none of the other 31 workers arrested last week on charges of violating federal immigration laws and being in the U.S. illegally have been charged with more serious federal crimes.

According to charging documents, Cano told federal immigration agents that he entered the U.S. illegally through Arizona in March 2007 after being deported about two years earlier.

After checking immigration records, authorities learned that Cano was arrested in Topeka, Kan, on Feb. 21, 2006 for illegally entering the country eight days earlier. A judge in Kansas City, Kan., ordered him deported on Feb. 27 of that year, and he was sent back to Mexico on March 1.

In Perez-Hernandez's case, an immigration agent found him to be in possession of a resident alien card bearing his name and photo after he was arrested last week and searched, according to his charging document.

A check with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services revealed that the alien identification number on the card was not registered to Perez-Hernandez, but to a female resident alien from Mexico, the affidavit says.
