A 33-year-old Mexican national has been sentenced to 8 months’ imprisonment for illegally reentering the United States.
SCRANTON, Pennsylvania – Martin Perez-Amaro, age 33, a citizen of Mexico, was sentenced to 8 months’ imprisonment by United States District Judge Robert D. Mariani for illegally reentering the United States after being previously deported.
According to United States Attorney Gerard M. Karam, Perez-Amaro had been deported on two prior occasions, most recently in 2018, unlawfully reentered the country sometime thereafter and was located in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, in May of 2022.
Perez-Amaro did not obtain the required authorization prior to reentering the country. He had pleaded guilty to the offense immediately before sentencing.
This case was investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO). Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffery St John prosecuted the case.
Perez-Amaro’s actions are a prime example of the consequences one faces when engaging in illegal activities, said United States Attorney Gerard M. Karam.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania will continue to work diligently to ensure that those who break the law are held accountable for their actions.
