WICHITA, KANSAS (BNO NEWS) – A second Mexican alien was indicted on Thursday for document fraud after attempting to enter McConnell Air Force Base in Kansas, prosecutors said.

Lorenzo Mondragon Sanchez, 38, a Mexican national, tried to enter the Kansas base on August 11 as part of a work crew for Djon Construction Co. He is in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody.

Djon Construction is a subcontractor of Lakeshore Engineering Services Inc. Djon currently has building projects underway at McConnell Air Force Base. Mondragon was charged on Thursday of document fraud and aggravated identity theft. He allegedly used an altered Resident Alien card and a counterfeit Social Security card containing a number assigned to another individual.

The defendant used the fraudulent documents in order to get his job with Djon. If convicted, Mondragon faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison for the document fraud charge and a minimum mandatory sentence of two years on the aggravated identity theft count.

Jose Gonzalez Ramirez, 38, was the first Mexican alien indicted back in July. He was charged with re-entry after deportation and document fraud.

Gonzalez was involved in a similar incident with ServiceMaster Clean which also has a base contract. He is still in federal custody and his charges are pending.
