A Honduran man has pleaded guilty to a federal charge of illegal re-entry of a removed alien. LUIS GABRIEL RODRIGUEZ-RUIZ, age 33, a citizen of Honduras, pleaded guilty to a one-count Indictment charging him with the crime.
According to court documents, on December 13, 2016, RODRIGUEZ-RUIZ was found in the United States after having been deported previously on February 14, 2013. This marked a significant violation of immigration laws, and RODRIGUEZ-RUIZ now faces serious consequences for his actions.
Acting U.S. Attorney Duane A. Evans announced the guilty plea, praising the work of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement in investigating the matter. Assistant United States Attorney Emily K. Greenfield is in charge of the prosecution. The case highlights the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to crack down on immigration crimes and ensure that those who violate the law are held accountable.
RODRIGUEZ-RUIZ faces a maximum term of imprisonment of two years and a fine of $250,000, or the greater of twice the gross gain to the defendant. He will also be subject to one year supervised release after imprisonment and a $100 special assessment. U.S. District Judge Nannette Jolivette Brown set sentencing for May 18, 2017.
The guilty plea is a significant development in the case, and it marks a major step forward in the efforts of law enforcement to combat immigration crimes. The case against RODRIGUEZ-RUIZ serves as a reminder that those who violate immigration laws will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
In a statement, Acting U.S. Attorney Evans emphasized the importance of enforcing immigration laws and protecting national security. The prosecution of RODRIGUEZ-RUIZ demonstrates the commitment of law enforcement to upholding the law and ensuring that those who break it are brought to justice. As the case moves forward, it will be closely watched by those interested in immigration law and the efforts of law enforcement to combat related crimes.
