A 25-year-old Guatemalan man was arrested by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security Investigation agents in Mason County, Wash. last week for failing to register or update his sex offender registration and re-entering the US following deportation.

Acting US Attorney Teal Luthy Miller said Juan Hernandez Zacharias has been charged by criminal complaint with two felonies. The first, failure to register or update his sex offender registration, relates to his sentencing in October 2022 for first degree child molestation. The sentencing documents advise Zackarias that should he leave the state, he must register as a sex offender within three days of returning. Zackarias allegedly did not register as required.

The second charge, reentry of a removed alien, relates to Zackarias’ return following deportation. On January 2, 2024, Zackarias had a removal hearing in Immigration Court. He was ordered removed and on February 4, 2024, he was removed from the United States and transported to Guatemala. However, on May 16, 2024, Zackarias registered a white van with Washington State plates in his name—indicating that he had returned to Washington.

On December 6, 2024, Zackarias was arrested by Mason County Sheriff’s deputies for failing to register as a sex offender. The arrest was logged in the National Crime Information Center (NCIC). The NCIC system alerted ICE Homeland Security Investigations that Zackarias has an order of removal in place. The federal criminal complaint was sworn and filed with Magistrate Judge David W. Christal on February 21, 2025.
