U.S. Attorney Kenneth A. Polite announced that LUIS FERNANDO MARTINEZ, 40, a citizen of Honduras, was sentenced after previously pleading guilty to a one-count Bill of Information for illegal reentry of a removed alien.
U.S. District Judge Helen G. Berrigan sentenced MARTINEZ to time served, 1 year of supervised release, and a $100 special assessment. MARTINEZ will be surrendered to the custody of the U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement for removal proceedings.
