BOSTON – Santo Beato Aybar-Aybar, a 49-year-old Dominican national, was today sentenced in federal court for his illegal reentry into the United States after being deported. The man, who has been a repeat offender, was sentenced to time served, amounting to five months.
Aybar-Aybar is once again facing deportation proceedings following his guilty plea to one count of unlawful reentry of a deported alien in June 2025. His previous brushes with the law include three deportations from the U.S., the most recent being on or about September 21, 2021.
During his illegal stay, Aybar-Aybar was convicted of numerous crimes, including possessing cocaine with intent to distribute in New Hampshire in 2013 and possessing fentanyl with intent to distribute in Massachusetts in 2021. His latest transgression led to his capture by immigration authorities during a law enforcement operation in Lawrence, Mass.
United States Attorney Leah B. Foley and Patricia H. Hyde, Acting Field Office Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations in Boston, announced the sentence. Assistant U.S. Attorney Eric L. Hawkins prosecuted the case on behalf of the federal government.
This is yet another reminder of the challenges faced by law enforcement in dealing with individuals who repeatedly flout immigration laws and commit crimes within our borders. The harsh reality of drug trafficking and its devastating impact on communities continues to be a priority for federal prosecutors.
