Honduran Man Sentenced For Illegal Reentry After Deportation

            CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE – United States Attorney Emily Gray Rice announced today that Juan Castillo-Linder, of Honduras, was sentenced on September 6, 2016, after pleading guilty to illegally reentering the United States after having been previously deported.

            Castillo-Linder was identified after being arrested in Manchester, New Hampshire for Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol on May 8, 2016.  A Deportation Officer later determined that he was a citizen of Honduras who previously had been deported from the United States. Castillo-Linder, who was arrested by ICE on May 19, 2016, and has been in custody since that time, was sentenced to time served.  He faces likely deportation.

            The case was investigated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Alfred Rubega.
