GRAND RAPIDS, MI – A man convicted of enticing a child and also illegally entering the U.S. has been held by immigration officials after he was arrested in Grand Rapids.

Javier Martinez-Hernandez is named in a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids alleging he re-entered the U.S. after deportation, subsequent to a felony conviction, without permission from the U.S. government.

Grand Rapids Police on Oct. 5 arrested a man identified as Raymundo Cortez-Hoez for driving while his license is suspended, revoked or denied. Police identified him as Martinez-Hernandez after running his fingerprints through two databases.

He was indicted, however, under yet another name, Daniel Rojas-Hernandez, records showed.

Police determined he also had another alias, Michael Angelo Lopez-Huerta, said Michael Lentz, a deportation officer for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

A day after the traffic stop, the suspect was released to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, Lentz said.

Records showed the suspect was removed from Brownsville, Texas, to Mexico, on March 10, 1999. He was removed again on May 12, 1999, while using an alias.

On March 29, 2011, he had his initial order of removal re-instated by ICE in the Houston field office. Lentz said the suspect was convicted in Texas for felony re-entry on Dec. 15, 2011.

On March 8, 2012, he was sentenced in Galveston, Texas, for a felony charge of enticing a child, records showed.

Galveston records showed Rojas-Hernandez was sentenced to two years in jail on the enticing charge. On Sept. 17, 2013, he was deported to Mexico.

He has been indicted in West Michigan for allegedly returning to the U.S. after being removed for a felony conviction.

He has pleaded not guilty. A judge ordered him detained pending trial.
