An Ecuadorian national, Luis Ernesto Caguana-Caguana, was sentenced in Boston for unlawfully reentering the United States after being deported. U.S. District Court Judge Allison D. Burroughs sentenced Caguana-Caguana, 33, to time served, which amounted to approximately 37 days in prison. Following the sentencing, Caguana-Caguana is now subject to deportation proceedings.
Caguana-Caguana had previously been deported from the United States on March 6, 2014. Authorities stated that he reentered the country illegally without obtaining permission sometime after his removal in 2014.
During a court hearing prior to sentencing, Caguana-Caguana pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful reentry of a deported alien.
United States Attorney Leah B. Foley and Patricia H. Hyde, Field Office Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations in Boston, announced the sentencing. Assistant U.S. Attorney Alexandra W. Amrhein of the Major Crimes Unit prosecuted the case.
