U.S. Attorney's Office, Middle District of Florida
Orlando, Florida – U.S. District Judge Carlos E. Mendoza today sentenced Ever Jose Diaz-Lara (30, Honduras) to 15 months in federal prison for illegal reentry after deportation. Diaz-Lara had pleaded guilty on September 6, 2019.
According to testimony and court documents, since 2009, Diaz-Lara has been arrested at least five times for violent domestic assaults. The Department of Homeland Security removed Diaz-Lara to Honduras in 2010, 2014, and 2015. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) most recently encountered Diaz-Lara following his July 17, 2019, domestic battery arrest in Orlando.
“Thanks to the hard work of our Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) team, this violent criminal illegal alien is out of our communities,” said Miami ERO Field Office Director Michael W. Meade.
This case was investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ICE-ERO). It was prosecuted by Special Assistant United States Attorney Brandon Bayliss, on assignment from the Office of Principal Legal Advisor, ICE, in the Middle District of Florida.
