Roberto Carlos Cano-Loredo, age 43, is scheduled to appear in federal court tomorrow (Thursday) morning to punch his one-way ticket to south of the border.
Mr. Cano. billed out of Austin, MN, has indicated his intent to plead guilty to one felony count of re-entry of a previously deported illegal alien.
A participant in the Fast Track program, he will likely be sentenced to time served and will soon be deported (again) back to Mexico. In a pre-hearing court filing, his attorney made the following claim,
He has never been convicted of a felony. His most serious offense was driving while intoxicated, a gross misdemeanor.
“Convicted” is the key word in the above quote. I suppose that choosing which among his many convictions is the “most serious” is a matter of opinion. Personally, I would vote for the choking incident in 2016. Nor does the attorney indicate which one of his driving while intoxicated offences represents the most serious.
Federal prosecutors document that Mr. Cano was previously deported in both August 2010 and January 2017.
His Minnesota criminal record begins in 2010, with a June 2010 misdemeanor disorderly conduct conviction. A $385 fine went unpaid and was written off.
He made his way back from Mexico and was next arrested in January 2015 on a DWI charge. After skipping two court hearings, Cano eventually pled guilty to a gross misdemeanor. He was sentenced to two years of probation. A $1,000 fine from that case remains unpaid.
Prior to his DWI sentencing, he was arrested in June 2016 and charged with felony domestic assault by strangulation. He pled the case down to a mere misdemeanor domestic assault and received no jail time. A $460 fine remains unpaid.
Again, Cano returned to Minnesota following his second deportation to Mexico. A March 2023 traffic violation shows him back in the state.
Another DWI followed in August 2024, with a second gross misdemeanor conviction. While drunk driving (BAC 0.19) one evening in Austin, Cano struck a parked car, then fled on foot. He skipped his first court hearing in the case. After a plea deal, he was sentenced in March 2025 to zero jail time and one year of probation. A $1,081 restitution order remains unpaid.
Cano’s latest domestic assault case came in January 2025. Upon arrest, he provided a false name, which he was unable to spell on account of his intoxication. He again pled the case down to a misdemeanor and was sentenced on May 5 to time served and taken into federal custody.
Adios, Roberto!
