Thread: IA - Illegal Alien Living in New Vienna Sentenced to Prison

6 hrs ago

An illegal alien who had been living in New Vienna has been sentenced to prison.

The U.S. Department of Justice says 35-year old Eliceo Tecpile-Tzompaztle, a Mexican native and citizen, admitted he illegally re-entered the United States without permission after he was deported in 2002, 2007 and twice in 2008. He also admitted that after illegally returning to the U.S., he used a fake Social Security Number when he completed state and federal tax forms in 2014 at a New Vienna company where he unlawfully worked.

Tecpile-Tzompaxtle pleaded guilty earlier this fall to misusing a Social Security Number and illegal re-entry. He was sentenced to five months in prison last week.

He is currently being held in U.S. Marshal’s custody until he can be transported to a federal prison.

Illegal reentry is a felony crime and so is using a fake Social Security number. Two felony crimes and only five months?

I am truly surprised he received any sentence.

Prosecutors to Focus on Immigration Crimes

Attorney General Jeff Sessions instructs prosecutors to focus on immigration crimes with changes to Justice Department protocol. Federal prosecutors can now prosecute on a set of new offenses. First of all, illegal re-entry in the United States will be considered a felony.

Sessions Announces Illegal Aliens Who Illegally Re-Enter The U.S. Will Be Charged With a Felony

Therefore aliens that illegally re-enter the country after prior removal will be deferred for felony prosecution. In addition, prosecutors will try to charge criminal immigrants with document fraud and aggravated identity theft. The latter carries a two-year mandatory minimum sentence.

“If someone dares to assault one of our folks in the line of duty, they will do federal time for it,” Sessions said.

They will also crack down on people and organizations that transport and harbor undocumented aliens. Anyone profiting from smuggling gang members across the border will be jailed.

“We will execute a strategy that once again secures the border; apprehends and prosecutes those criminal aliens that threaten our public safety; takes the fight to gangs like MS-13 and Los Zetas, and makes dismantlement and destruction of the cartels a top priority.”

Judges on the Border

According to the new memorandum, prosecutors will seek deportation orders against defendants in immigration-related cases. A Border Security Coordinator will oversee the investigation and prosecution of immigrant cases. To speed up cases next to the border, 25 immigration judges have been sent to adjudicate cases at Homeland Security Department detention centers on the border. DOJ will hire 125 additional judges over the next two years to reduce the massive backlog that exists today. 50 will be hired this year and 75 will be hired next year.

What is the difference between the Bush era, the Obama era and so far, the Trump era where illegals are concerned?
