ALBANY, NEW YORK – Jose Isaias Guerrero, also known as Jose Isaia Herrera, age 41, and a citizen of Honduras, was sentenced today to time served (6 months in jail) for illegal re-entry into the United States.

The announcement was made by United States Attorney Grant C. Jaquith and Thomas E. Feeley, Director of the Buffalo Field Office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO).

Guerrero was ordered removed by an Immigration Judge in Georgia on October 5, 2010, and he was removed to Mexico on October 19, 2010.  Guerrero was arrested by Border Patrol in Texas after he swam across the Rio Grande River from Mexico on November 25, 2010.  He was removed to Mexico a second time on November 26, 2010.   On April 20, 2018, he was arrested by an ICE Officer.   Guerrero admitted that he was actually Honduran, not Mexican, and that he returned to the United States without permission following the 2010 removals.

Following the sentencing, Guerrero was remanded to the Department of Homeland Security, for removal proceedings.  

This case was investigated by ICE-ERO and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Edward P. Grogan.
