Mexican deported 3 times gets prison for re-entry.

HARTFORD, Conn. —

A Mexican man who has been deported from the United States three times is facing a prison sentence for re-entering the country a fourth time.

A federal judge in Hartford sentenced Adalberto Arteaga Rodriguez on Monday to three and a half years in prison. Prosecutors say he pleaded guilty in 2010 to immigration-related charges.

Authorities say the 35-year-old immigrant was arrested by New Haven police in May 2009 after he was found in a vehicle with a .22 caliber rifle on his lap. A weapons charge in New Haven Superior Court led to a three-year prison sentence.

He had been deported previously in 2001, 2002 and 2007. The first two deportations resulted from a 1988 conviction for first-degree unlawful restraint and fourth-degree sexual assault.

Mexican national sentenced to 42 months in prison for illegally reentering the US

Violated terms of supervised release

HARTFORD, Conn. — A Mexican national was sentenced Monday to 42 months in federal prison for illegally reentering the United States after being deported, and for violating the conditions of his supervised release, stemming from a previous federal conviction in 2006 for illegally reentering the United States after deportation. The sentence is the result of an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO).

Adalberto Arteaga-Rodriguez, 35, of Mexico, was encountered by ERO officers May 30, 2009, after having been deported three times in 2001, 2002 and 2007. Arteaga-Rodriguez's deportations in 2001 and 2002 resulted from his 1998 conviction for first degree unlawful restraint and fourth degree sexual assault.

In 2005, after he illegally returned to the United States, Arteaga-Rodriguez was charged in the District of Connecticut with illegal reentry. Arteaga-Rodriguez pleaded guilty to the charge and was sentenced to 23 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. He was released from the Federal Bureau of Prisons in February 2007 and was deported to Mexico March 17, 2007.

On May 30, 2009, Arteaga-Rodriguez was arrested by the New Haven (Conn.) Police Department after he was found in a vehicle with a .22 caliber rifle on his lap. Arteaga-Rodriguez pleaded guilty to one count of criminal possession of a firearm and sentenced July 22, 2009, in New Haven Superior Court to five years of incarceration, suspended after two.

On April 29, 2010, Arteaga-Rodriguez pleaded guilty in federal court to one count of unlawful presence of a deported alien, and also admitted that he violated the conditions of his supervised release from his 2006 conviction for illegal reentry.

Today, Arteaga-Rodriguez was sentenced to 30 months in prison for the illegal reentry and a consecutive 12-month term in prison for violating his supervised release. Arteaga-Rodriguez has been detained since his May 2009 arrest.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Deborah R. Slater, District of Connecticut.
