Acting U.S. Attorney Duane A. Evans announced that REYNALDO BRAN FONSECA, age 36, a citizen of Honduras, was sentenced today after previously pleading guilty to a three-count Indictment charging him with illegal reentry of a removed alien and possession of firearms by an illegal alien.
U.S. District Judge Mary Ann Vial Lemmon sentenced FONSECA to twenty-seven months in prison. Following the completion of his sentence, FONSECA will be surrendered to the custody of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for removal proceedings.
According to court documents, FONSECA reentered the United States after he was previously deported on November 5, 2010. Court records also indicate that FONSECA illegally possessed a Colt.357 revolver on Feb. 22, 2016 and a Glock semi-automatic pistol on April 7, 2016.
Acting U.S. Attorney Evans praised the work of the United States Department of Homeland Security in investigating this matter. Assistant U.S. Attorney Spiro G. Latsis was in charge of the prosecution.
