David Hill, Illegal Reentry, New York 2022

A 39-year-old man from Rochester, New York, was sentenced to 18 months in prison for illegally reentering the United States. David Hill, a citizen of Jamaica, was convicted of Robbery in state court in 2006 after serving a 42-month sentence.

Following his conviction, Hill was deported to Jamaica and prohibited from reentering due to his aggravated felony conviction. However, on August 16, 2016, the defendant was found in the Western District of New York, having unlawfully reentered the United States.

Hill was discovered after an investigation revealed that he had attempted to obtain false identification documents at the New York State Department of Vehicles using an alias. The sentencing is the result of an investigation by the United States Border Patrol, under the direction of Patrol Agent-in-Charge Steven Oldman; the New York State Police, under the direction of Major Richard Allen; and the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, under the direction of Executive Deputy Commissioner Theresa Egan.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Kyle Rossi handled the case, stating that the defendant was found guilty of illegal reentry after having been previously deported due to a conviction for an aggravated felony.

The investigation that led to Hill’s arrest was conducted by multiple agencies, including the United States Border Patrol, the New York State Police, and the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles.

The sentencing of David Hill serves as a reminder of the consequences of reentering the country after being deported. As a result of his actions, Hill will spend the next 18 months behind bars.
