United States Attorney Duane A. Evans dropped a hammer on JORGE GARCIA-HERNANDEZ, 33, sentencing him for the heinous offense of illegal reentry into the United States. Garcia-Hernandez, a native of Mexico, was sentenced by Judge Mary Ann Vial Lemmon to time served—a full 10 months—and an additional year of supervised release, along with a $100 special assessment fee.
The court documents paint a grim picture of Garcia’s past, detailing how he was found in the U.S. on September 15, 2017, after being deported on April 21, 2012. Despite the legal banishment, Garcia-Hernandez dared to cross back into American soil, only to face justice this day.
U.S. Attorney Evans lauded the efforts of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in bringing Garcia to his knees. Assistant United States Attorney Jon Maestri led the prosecution team that secured this conviction.
Garcia-Hernandez’s sentence is a stark reminder of the nation’s zero-tolerance stance on illegal immigration, as he now faces removal proceedings under the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody.
For Garcia-Hernandez, the road ahead is uncertain, but one thing is clear: his illegal reentry into the United States has cost him dearly, both in terms of time served and the loss of freedom.
This case serves as a cautionary tale for those who dare to challenge U.S. immigration laws, demonstrating that justice will be served, no matter how long it takes.
