BOSTON — Eliseo De Jesus Restrepo, a 36-year-old Colombian national, has been sentenced to time served and one year of supervised release for illegally reentering the United States after being deported.
According to federal court records, Restrepo pleaded guilty to one count of illegal reentry of a deported alien before U.S. District Court Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV, who immediately sentenced Restrepo to time served and one year of supervised release. Restrepo will be subject to deportation.
The federal investigation revealed that Restrepo was previously deported on March 30, 2011. On Dec. 15, 2016, law enforcement in Boston encountered Restrepo and determined him to be unlawfully present in the United States.
Acting United States Attorney William D. Weinreb and Matthew J. Etre, Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations in Boston, made the announcement today. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kenneth G. Shine of Weinreb’s Major Crimes Unit prosecuted the case.
Restrepo’s sentence marks the culmination of an extensive investigation by Homeland Security Investigations and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts.
The case serves as a reminder of the consequences of violating U.S. immigration laws. Restrepo’s actions have been deemed unlawful, and he will face the consequences of his actions.
In related news, the U.S. Attorney’s Office has increased its efforts to combat immigration-related crimes, working closely with law enforcement agencies to identify and prosecute individuals who violate U.S. immigration laws.
