In a move to crack down on immigration violations, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced two sentencings involving illegal aliens in U.S. District Court in Scranton.
Judge Richard P. Conaboy sentenced 48-year-old Jose Efrain Martinez-Aguilar, a native and citizen of Honduras, to a term of imprisonment for 27 months followed by immediate deportation on December 2, 2014.
Martinez-Aguilar, also known as Carlos Oreana Benitez, was previously indicted and charged with illegal reentry into the United States after having been previously deported and after having been convicted of an aggravated felony involving the trafficking of controlled substances.
