Mexican Citizen Sentenced to 4 Months for Illegal Re-entry Into the United States

SYRACUSE, NEW YORK – Salvador Hernandez-Hernandez, age 32, of DeKalb, Illinois, was sentenced today to serve 4-months in prison following his conviction for illegally reentering the United States following a prior deportation, announced United States Attorney Carla B Freedman and U.S. Border Patrol Swanton Sector Chief Patrol Agent Robert N. Garcia.

As a part of his prior guilty plea, Hernandez admitted that he was removed from the United States in July 2008, and that sometime after his removal he unlawfully reentered the United States without permission.  On October 9, 2022, United States Border Patrol Agents stopped a vehicle that Hernandez was driving near Fort Covington, New York.  Hernandez admitted that he had no legal right to be in the United States.

This case was investigated by the United States Border Patrol and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jessica N. Carbone.
