Man Sentenced for Illegally Reentering the United States After Being Deported

A man who illegally returned to the United States after being deported was sentenced today to 92 days in prison.

Yoni Omar Alvarado-Gomes, also known as Jhonny Ramos Campos, age 35, a citizen of Honduras, received the prison term after a May 28, 2025 guilty plea to one count of being found in the United States after illegal reentry

At the guilty plea, Alvarado-Gomes admitted he had previously been deported from the United States and illegally reentered the United States without the permission of the United States government.  Alvarado-Gomes was previously removed in 2009 and in 2013.  On April 26, 2025, immigration officials found him at the Tama County Jail following his arrest on state charges for driving without a license and speeding.

Alvarado-Gomes was sentenced in Cedar Rapids by United States District Court Chief Judge C.J. Williams.  Alvarado-Gomes was sentenced to 92 days’ imprisonment.  He must also serve a one-year term of supervised release after the prison term.  There is no parole in the federal system.

Alvarado-Gomes is being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until he can be turned over to immigration officials.
