illegal trespass
Criminal property invasion
Illegal trespass is a redundant phrase, since trespass is by definition unlawful entry onto property without permission.
The phrase appears in legal contexts for emphasis or specificity, distinguishing criminal trespass from civil violations: He was charged with illegal trespass after entering the construction site.
In everyday use, plain "trespass" usually suffices.
