FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 12, 2012

ADELMO CABRERA-RAMIREZ, age 43, a citizen of Honduras, was sentenced today in federal court by U. S. District Judge Sarah S. Vance to eight (8) months imprisonment, announced U. S. Attorney Jim Letten. In addition to the term of imprisonment, Judge Vance ordered that CABRERA be placed on one (1) year of supervised release following the term of imprisonment, during which time the defendant will be under federal supervision and risks an additional term of imprisonment should he violate any terms of his supervised release.

According to court documents, on April 11, 2012, CABRERA pled guilty to one count of an indictment admitting he was an alien who was previously removed and was knowingly and unlawfully found in the United States in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana without the Attorney General or Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, having expressly consented to his re-application for admission into the United States. CABRERA’s sentence was subject to an enhancement based on a previous felony conviction.

The case was investigated by U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Enforcement and Removal Operations. The case was prosecuted by Special Assistant United States Attorney Robert Weir.
