Colombian Citizen Sentenced for Illegally Reentering the U.S.
A Waterbury man has been sentenced to 16 months in prison for breaking federal law by reentering the United States after being deported.
Carlos Alberto Deosa-Munera, 57, was sentenced on today by U.S. District Judge Victor A. Bolden in Bridgeport for illegally reentering the U.S. after being deported.
According to court documents and statements made in court, Deosa-Munera has been previously deported from the U.S. on four occasions. Deosa-Munera, who had been residing in Waterbury, was convicted of sexual assault in the third degree and incarcerated in state custody.
Federal immigration officers visited Deosa-Munera at a Connecticut Department of Correction facility, advised him of his Miranda rights, and questioned him. He admitted that he was born in Colombia, remains a citizen of that country, and had been previously deported on multiple occasions.
Deosa-Munera completed his state sentence and has been in federal custody since June 10, 2016. On October 5, 2016, he waived his right to be indicted and pleaded guilty to one count of illegal reentry.
He will be removed to Colombia at the conclusion of his federal prison term.
