Deported Brazilian Re-Entered, Gets Time Served

BOSTON – Wadriam Jose Ferreira Do Carmo, 23, a Brazilian national, learned the hard way that a deported man isn’t welcome back. He was sentenced on August 6, 2025, in federal court in Boston to time served – approximately 79 days – after pleading guilty to unlawful reentry of a deported alien. Chief U.S. District Court Judge Denise J. Casper handed down the sentence, but make no mistake, Do Carmo’s time in the U.S. is effectively over. He’s subject to deportation, again.

The Border Patrol first caught Do Carmo sneaking back into the country on June 2, 2023. He was promptly deported on July 20, 2023, a clear message sent. Apparently, it wasn’t enough. Somewhere, sometime after that, Do Carmo brazenly reentered the United States without inspection, thumbing his nose at federal law.

Immigration authorities finally caught wind of his continued presence on May 6, 2024, when local law enforcement in Sherborn arrested him on an outstanding warrant. This wasn’t a sophisticated operation; just a routine arrest that blew his cover. It took another year, but on May 19, 2025, federal law enforcement finally tracked him down at his last known address in Milford and took him back into custody.

U.S. Attorney Leah B. Foley, alongside Patricia H. Hyde, Field Office Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations in Boston, and Milford Police Chief Robert Tusino, jointly announced the sentencing. They’re sending a clear message: ignoring deportation orders carries consequences, even if those consequences sometimes amount to a relatively short prison stay before being forcibly removed.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Suzanne Sullivan Jacobus of the Major Crimes Unit handled the prosecution. This case, while seemingly straightforward, underscores the constant battle federal agencies wage against those who attempt to circumvent immigration laws. It’s a revolving door, perhaps, but each arrest and deportation serves as a warning to others contemplating the same path.

Do Carmo’s case highlights the challenges of enforcing deportation orders. While 79 days might seem lenient, the renewed deportation order is the key takeaway. The feds will be watching to ensure he doesn’t try this game again. The streets of Milford, and the U.S. as a whole, are a little safer now that he’s headed home – for good, hopefully.
