Deported with a lot of Assets here in USA

[CVCV12345]

Hi, a friend had been living here for over 12 years.
He was deported in Houston back to Mexico last December. He went back to Mexico that same day. They took his fingerprints and the officers told him that he tries again he will be sent to jail for 2 to 10 years. He was deported 12 years ago too.
Now, he has several houses even a brand new house, cars, boats, an a business, accounts... (and a family here. His little daugther is still here).
He needs to come back to at least sell his properties and close bank accounts.
He has hired a couple of lawyers there but they have no answers for him. He has had calls with lawyers here and the same... He is now thinking about simply "coming" but he is worried about what the officer said about going to jail if he is caught here in the US again or crossing the border.

My question is... can they really send you to jail? for how long? 10 years? can you pay the bail?
How can he handle selling everything and closing accounts from there?
Has anybody gone through the same situation or know of someone?
Any thought would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

He needs to give a "financial power of attorney" to a trusted party, authorizing said party to engage in financial transactions on his part. Problem solved.

It's unlikely he'd get bail pre-trial, or pre-sentencing if convicted.

If he doesn't have a criminal record, and came back after being deported, 99% chance that if he is caught, ICE will just reinstate his prior deportation order and send him back to Mexico. The people who go to prison are normally people who have been barred for life from returning.
Your friend would run the risk of going to prison, but it would be rather small if he lacked a criminal record.
