Deported Alien Gets 12 Years For Repeat Re-Entry Into U.S.

AUSTIN, Texas—An illegal alien who repeatedly re-entered the United States after being deported has been sentenced to 12 years in prison.

Federal District Court Judge Sam Sparks sentenced Francisco Quevado-Hernandez, 38, July 19 after Quevado-Hernandez was convicted for illegally re-entering the United States five times after his original deportation in August 1997.

ICE agents found Quevado-Hernandez at the Travis County (Texas) Jail. ICE agents routinely coordinate with other law enforcement agencies and check prison populations to locate criminal aliens. Quevado-Hernandez has a criminal record ranging from resisting arrest to aggravated assault on a peace officer.

“This 12-year prison sentence demonstrates that those who habitually violate our nation’s immigration laws will be vigorously prosecuted,” said Alonzo Pena, ICE’s Special Agent-in-Charge for the San Antonio Office of Investigations. “ICE is committed to restoring integrity to our nation’s immigration system.”
