CONCORD, N.H. — Alexander Alcerro-Romero, a Honduran national, was sentenced to 15 months in federal prison for illegally re-entering the United States after being deported twice before. The conviction marks another enforcement win for federal immigration authorities cracking down on repeat offenders.
According to court records and statements made during proceedings, Alcerro-Romero was flagged in March 2016 when a deportation officer confirmed his unauthorized presence in the country. His criminal trail went cold until April 11, 2016, when he was pulled over during a routine motor vehicle stop. Unable to produce a valid U.S. driver’s license, he admitted he was not lawfully in the country.
Fingerprint analysis later confirmed his identity and revealed the full scope of his immigration violations — two prior deportations. Federal prosecutors used the evidence to build a straightforward but damning case, showing a pattern of deliberate evasion of U.S. immigration law.
Alcerro-Romero pleaded guilty on July 6, 2016, cutting short any chance of trial. With the plea entered, U.S. District Court officials moved swiftly to impose the 15-month sentence, underscoring the zero-tolerance stance on repeat immigration offenders.
The investigation was conducted by Homeland Security’s Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the frontline agency in tracking down individuals who re-enter the U.S. after being formally removed. Their forensic use of biometric data continues to close loopholes exploited by those slipping back across borders.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Alfred Rubega handled the prosecution. Upon completion of his sentence, Alcerro-Romero faces immediate deportation — a final exit enforced by federal mandate. The case stands as a stark reminder: cross the line twice, and the feds will throw the book.
