“BOSTON – A Lawrence man was sentenced today in federal court in Boston for illegally reentering the United States after being deported.
Brayan Zepeda, 33, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Julia E. Kobick to eight months in prison, to be followed by one year of supervised release. Zepeda will be subject to deportation proceedings upon completion of his sentence. On March 28, 2024, Zepeda pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful reentry of a deported alien.
Zepeda, a citizen of Guatemala, was deported from the United States on Jan. 12, 2023 after serving several state sentences for domestic assault and violation of a restraining order. At some point thereafter, Zepeda returned to the United States and was arrested by the Littleton Police Department in October 2023.
Acting United States Attorney Joshua S. Levy and Todd M. Lyons, Field Office Director, Boston, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations made the announcement today. Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark Grady of the Major Crimes Unit prosecuted the case.”-Massachusetts Department of Justice.
Well, I commend the Judge who deported him and the one who just sentenced him and hopefully he gets deported back when he completes his sentence. This is what should be happening to those who are here illegally and not doing anything to become citizens and work towards living the American dream. If you don’t want to work and abide by laws or come to the US illegally only to get a free ride, free shelter, free food, free money, leaching off the system but wearing designer clothes driving brand new vehicles committing crimes, running amuck, they should be deported and jailed if they comeback and then deported again. This is a scary time for the law abiding American citizens with the economy in this state. Necessities are now luxuries to middle class citizens like myself. I’m terrified for the future. Something has to change and fast!
