Leah B. Foley United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts | Department of Justice
A Honduran national, Jose Denis Guardado-Paz, has been sentenced for illegally reentering the United States after previously being deported. On August 4, 2025, U.S. District Court Judge Brian E. Murphy sentenced Guardado-Paz, 40, to time served—approximately 43 days in prison. Following his sentence, Guardado-Paz is now subject to deportation proceedings.
Guardado-Paz pleaded guilty earlier in the hearing to one count of unlawful reentry of a deported alien. He was arrested on May 5, 2025 and indicted by a federal grand jury in June 2025.
Guardado-Paz had last been deported from the United States on October 18, 2019. Authorities stated that he reentered the country without permission sometime after his removal in October 2019.
“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 made the announcement.”
“Assistant U.S. Attorney Alexandra W. Amrhein of the Major Crimes Unit prosecuted the case.”
