U.S. officials filed complaints Wednesday against two men who were arrested in Mercer County for immigration violations. Santiago Fortozo-Melendez and Gustavo Miranda-Cabrera, both of Mexico, were encountered on different days by state police. They were charged with re-entry of a deported alien. Fortozo-Melendez, 32, was driving a van stopped at 11:17 a.m. Feb. 3 for changing lanes without using a turn signal on Interstate 80 westbound in Findley Township, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said. Fortozo-Melendez, who has three aliases, admitted not being in the country legally, which police confirmed later, Immigration said. He had been deported from the U.S. to Mexico June 5, 2006, at Douglas, Ariz., Immigration said.
