ROCHESTER, N.Y. –U.S. Attorney Michael DiGiacomo announced today that Ever Josue Erazo-Lopez, 30, a native and citizen of Honduras, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Meredith A. Vacca to re-entry of a removed alien. He was then sentenced to time served and turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. 

Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicholas M. Testani, who handled the case, stated that Erazo-Lopez is an alien without any legal status in the United States. He was physically removed from the United States in July 2019. On September 27, 2025, Erazo-Lopez was taken into custody by the Brighton, NY, Police Department for suspected drunk driving.

This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime. 

The plea and sentencing are the result of an investigation by U.S. Border Patrol, under the direction of Acting Chief Patrol Agent James D’Amato.
