A 31-year-old Honduran man has been sentenced to four months in prison for illegally reentering the United States.
Jose Palma-Murillo, from Honduras, received the sentence after a guilty plea to one count of illegal re-entry.
According to court documents, Palma-Murillo admitted to having illegally entered the United States from Honduras on an unknown date after previously being deported in June 2013.
On February 5, 2019, Palma-Murillo came to the attention of ICE authorities after his arrest in Emmetsburg for driving while license revoked and failure to provide proof of insurance.
Palma-Murillo was sentenced in Sioux City by United States District Court Judge Leonard T. Strand. He must also serve a 1-year term of supervised release after the prison term.
Palma-Murillo is being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until he can be transported to a federal prison.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Kevin C. Fletcher and investigated by Enforcement and Removal Office of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Bureau.
