United States Attorney Duane A. Evans announced that JORGE GARCIA-HERNANDEZ, age 33, a native of Mexico, was sentenced today after pleading guilty to a one-count indictment for illegal reentry of a removed alien.

The defendant will be surrendered to the custody of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for removal proceedings.
