A 48-year-old Dominican national was sentenced to 6 months in prison for illegally reentering the US after being deported.
Francisco Siri, a/k/a Javier Ciravello Perez, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Mark G. Mastroianni to six months in prison. Siri will be subject to deportation proceedings.
In January 2018, Siri pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful reentry of a deported alien.
Siri was admitted to the United States as an immigrant or lawful permanent resident in 1983. However, he lost that status in 1989 after being convicted in Essex County Superior Court of trafficking cocaine.
On November 9, 1992, Siri was deported to the Dominican Republic. In October 2017, law enforcement officers in Springfield encountered Siri at the Hampden County Jail and determined him to be unlawfully present in the United States.
Siri is currently facing state charges for distributing and trafficking cocaine.
United States Attorney Andrew E. Lelling and Michael Shea, Acting Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations in Boston, made the announcement today. Assistant U.S. Attorney Todd E. Newhouse of Lelling’s Springfield Branch Office prosecuted the case.
