Dominican National Pleads Guilty to Illegal Reentry

BOSTON – A Dominican national unlawfully residing in Lawrence pleaded guilty today in federal court in Boston to unlawfully reentering the United States after deportation.

Eddy Antonio Perdomo, 31, pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful reentry of a deported alien. U.S. District Court Judge Patti B. Saris scheduled sentencing for Aug. 6, 2025. Perdomo was indicted by a federal grand jury in June 2025.

Perdomo was deported from the United States to the Dominican Republic on Oct. 3, 2023. Sometime after his October 2023 removal, Perdomo illegally reentered the United States without permission.

The charge of illegal reentry provides for a sentence of up to two years in prison, one year of supervised release and a $250,000 fine. The defendant is subject to deportation upon completion of any sentence imposed. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and statutes which govern the determination of a sentence in a criminal case.

United States Attorney Leah B. Foley; Patricia H. Hyde, Field Office Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations in Boston; and Lawrence Police Chief Maurice Aguiler made the announcement. Assistant U.S. Attorney Suzanne Sullivan Jacobus of the Major Crimes Unit is prosecuting the case.
