Wilson Mauricio Osorto-Estrada Pleads Guilty

Wilson Mauricio Osorto-Estrada, a 35-year-old Honduran national, has pleaded guilty to a one-count Indictment for illegal reentry of a removed alien in violation of Title 8, United States Code, Section 1326(a) & (b)(2).

According to court documents, Osorto-Estrada reentered the United States after he was previously deported on January 17, 2013. This blatant disregard for the law has resulted in serious consequences for the defendant.

The guilty plea was announced by U.S. Attorney Kenneth A. Polite, who commended the work of the United States Department of Homeland Security in investigating this matter. Assistant U.S. Attorney Spiro G. Latsis is in charge of the prosecution.

If convicted, Osorto-Estrada faces a maximum term of imprisonment of ten years, a maximum fine of $250,000, a maximum term of supervised release of three years, and a mandatory $100 special assessment. U.S. District Judge Carl J. Barbier has set sentencing for May 18, 2017.

The case against Osorto-Estrada is a clear example of the U.S. government’s commitment to enforcing immigration laws and protecting national security. The defendant’s actions demonstrate a clear disregard for the law and a willingness to circumvent the legal process.

The investigation and prosecution of Osorto-Estrada’s case are a testament to the collaborative efforts of law enforcement agencies and the U.S. Attorney’s office. As the defendant awaits sentencing, it is clear that the consequences of his actions will be severe.

In a statement, U.S. Attorney Polite praised the work of the United States Department of Homeland Security, highlighting the importance of cooperation between law enforcement agencies in combating illegal reentry and other crimes. The guilty plea of Wilson Mauricio Osorto-Estrada serves as a warning to those who would seek to circumvent the law and a reminder of the serious consequences that await those who do.
