Wilmer Rodriguez, a 39-year-old Honduran illegal alien, has been sentenced to 46 months in prison for unlawfully re-entering the United States after being deported following a conviction for aggravated felony. Rodriguez was arrested in Grayling, Michigan, just over a year after his deportation, and has a history of committing serious crimes, including first-degree criminal sexual conduct, felony kidnapping, and a felony firearm offense.

Gorgon Jr. announced the sentencing, highlighting the need for strong border enforcement to protect Michigan communities from individuals who pose a threat to public safety.
