BOSTON— A Dominican national, Wilson Radhames Peguero Brea, 56, is facing charges for allegedly reentering the United States illegally after being deported three times. Reports indicate that Peguero has used various aliases, including "Jose Perez Antonio," and has a significant criminal background that includes drug trafficking and aggravated identity theft, with offenses dating back to 1997.

Peguero's criminal record reportedly includes a drug trafficking conviction from 1997 and a more recent conviction in 2023 for aggravated identity theft and wire fraud, which resulted in a prison sentence of over two years. While it has been suggested that he has illegally entered the U.S. multiple times, the exact number of incidents remains unclear, as he has been known to use several aliases, including those of U.S. citizens.

The current charge against Peguero carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a potential fine of $250,000. Authorities have noted that his most recent interaction with law enforcement involved the use of a false identity document, raising further questions about his attempts to evade legal consequences.
