Mexican National Sentenced to 69 Months for Murder Conviction Reentry

Texas Man, 36, Sentenced to 69 Months for Murder Conviction Reentry

An illegal alien with a prior murder conviction has been sentenced to 69 months in federal prison for illegal reentry after removal from the United States, announced Nancy E. Larson, Acting United States Attorney for the Northern District of Texas.

Francisco Alan Martinez Camara, 36, a national of Mexico, pled guilty in March 2025 to illegally reentering the United States after previously having been deported.  Court documents show that this was Martinez Camara’s second conviction for illegally reentering the United States.  He was first convicted in March 2022 in the Western District of Texas and was sentenced to six months in federal prison.

According to court records, in April 2013, Martinez Camara pled guilty to the state offense of murder in Webb County, Texas.  After serving his sentence for that offense, he was deported from the United States in 2016.

On Monday, June 16, United States Chief District Judge David C. Godbey sentenced Martinez Camara to 69 months’ imprisonment for his second conviction for illegally reentering the United States.  During the sentencing hearing, Judge Godbey admonished Martinez Camara that the penalties for any future immigration violations, including illegal reentry into the United States, would likely increase if he again reentered the United States without authorization.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement conducted the investigation.  Assistant U.S. Attorney Marissa Aulbaugh prosecuted the case.

The case serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of reentering the United States without proper authorization.  Martinez Camara’s sentence is a result of his own actions and a testament to the commitment of law enforcement agencies to holding individuals accountable for their crimes.

The Northern District of Texas will continue to prioritize the prosecution of individuals who engage in illegal reentry, ensuring that those who break our laws are held accountable for their actions.
