CONCORD - A Brazilian man convicted of selling phony immigration documents returned to Nashua eight months after being kicked out of the country, immigration officials claim.

Gilmar Miranda was arrested Oct. 19, and appeared in U.S. District Court on Thursday on a charge of re-entering the United States after deportation.

Miranda was one of two Brazilians arrested July 28, 2005, after an investigation by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Miranda and Aderci “Del” Dasilva, both formerly of 48 Royal Crest Drive, Apt. 2, Nashua, later pleaded guilty in federal court to charges of selling counterfeit identification. Miranda admitted to two counts and Dasilva admitted to eight counts, prosecutors said.

Both men were sentenced in January to time served – about five months – and sent back to Brazil. Miranda was ordered to pay a $200 special assessment, and Dasilva was ordered to pay $800.

ICE Special Agent Philip Bleezarde investigated the original counterfeit identification case, and arranged for an informant to buy counterfeit green cards and Social Security cards for $200 a set.

On Oct. 19, Bleezarde got a tip Miranda was back in town, Bleezarde wrote in an affidavit filed in U.S. District Court. The tipster had seen Miranda driving a green Ford Ranger pickup and noted the license plate number, Bleezarde wrote.

The truck was registered to a person at 139 Ash St., Nashua, he wrote. Bleezarde staked out that address, saw the truck in the driveway and arrested Miranda after he came outside.

Federal immigration records showed Miranda had been deported Feb. 23.

This time he should be deported to Gitmo Bay, and tried as a terrorist.

I feel threatened by people like that.
