A 28-year-old man from Guatemala has been sentenced to 98 days in prison for using a stolen Social Security number to get a job in Iowa.
Rony Sandoval-Ramirez, who is illegally present in the United States, was sentenced in Cedar Rapids by United States District Court Judge C.J. Williams.
Sandoval-Ramirez admitted to using someone else’s name and Social Security number on employment forms and state and federal tax forms when applying for work in Tama, Iowa, on November 3, 2015.
He continued working under the false name until he was arrested by immigration officials after he was charged with domestic assault with injury and two counts of child endangerment on May 25, 2019.
Sandoval-Ramirez was also convicted of driving while intoxicated in July 2017.
He must also serve a three-year term of supervised release after the prison term.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Daniel C. Tvedt and investigated by Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Enforcement and Removal Operations.
