BOSTON - A Guatemalan national charged with an immigration crime pleaded guilty and was sentenced yesterday in federal court in Boston.

Victor Deleon, 37, pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful reentry of a deported alien before U.S. Senior District Court Judge Mark L. Wolf, who sentenced Deleon to time served (approximately three months in prison) and two years of supervised release. Deleon will be subject to deportation proceedings.
