MCALLEN, Texas (ValleyCentral) — A Mexican man has been sentenced to 12 years in federal prison following his illegal re-entry into the country, authorities announced.

Eleuterio Covarrubias-Martinez, 54, pleaded guilty Jan. 20, according to a release from the U.S. Attorney’s office stated.

Covarrubias-Martinez was sentenced on Thursday. He is expected to be deported following his imprisonment.

Covarrubias-Martinez was previously convicted twice for the same crime. His criminal history also reflects prior convictions for drug trafficking, aggravated assault and aggravated robbery.

On Nov. 14, 2022, Covarrubias-Martinez was caught by law enforcement near Hidalgo and admitted to being a Mexican citizen. He told authorities he entered the country by rafting across the Rio Grande.

He will remain in custody pending transfer to a U.S. Bureau of Prisons facility to be determined in the near future.

These cockroaches just keep coming back!

Build the wall and our military should be guarding it 24/7/365 and expelling every damn one of them!


12 years in prison x $30,000 a year = $360,000 of our tax dollars!


We need to open an International Prison Island, every non-citizen in our country should be dumped there and let their country pay for their incarceration costs!

They are costing us billions in prison costs alone.
