GRIMY TIMES EXCLUSIVE: Honduran national CARLOS ALBERTO PINEDA-CANTOR, 40, has copped to a one-count Bill of Information for illegal reentry of a removed alien. Pineda-Cantor was caught in the U.S. on December 31, 2016, having been deported and removed back on December 26, 2007.
The grimy details surface as the defendant faces a heavy penalty, with a maximum sentence of two years imprisonment and a $250,000 fine hanging over his head. Moreover, he’s staring down supervised release for one year and a $100 special assessment. Sentencing is set for July 27, 2017, before U.S. District Judge Lance M. Africk.
Acting U.S. Attorney Duane A. Evans has lauded the efforts of the United States Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for their diligent investigation into this brazen case. Assistant United States Attorney Irene González is leading the prosecution against Pineda-Cantor.
Pineda-Cantor’s return to the U.S. after deportation is a stark reminder of the challenges faced by immigration enforcement agencies. The case underscores the need for robust border security and effective deportation measures to prevent illegal reentry and ensure public safety.
As the justice system rolls out its punishment, it sends a message: crossing the line into America without legal permission will not be tolerated. Pineda-Cantor’s plea of guilty is a testament to that fact.
