BOSTON - A Honduran national was sentenced today in federal court in Boston for illegally reentering the United States after deportation.
Dario Pineda Garcia, 49, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani to 11 months in prison, three years of supervised release, and will be subject to deportation upon completion of his sentence. In April 2017, Pineda Garcia pleaded guilty to one count of illegal reentry of a deported alien.
In November 2016, law enforcement encountered Pineda Garcia in Chelsea and determined him to be unlawfully present in the United States. Pineda Garcia had been deported in April 2007.
Acting United States Attorney William D. Weinreb and Matthew Etre, Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations in Boston, made the announcement today. Assistant U.S. Attorney Suzanne Sullivan Jacobus of Weinreb’s Major Crimes Unit prosecuted the case.
