A Honduran man who had previously been deported following a federal conviction for illegal reentry was sentenced on February 12, 2018 to one year in federal prison.

Rodriguez-Carrasco was sentenced in Cedar Rapids by United States District Court Judge Linda R. Reade. Rodriguez-Carrasco was sentenced to 12 months’ imprisonment. He must also serve a three-year term of supervised release after the prison term. There is no parole in the federal system.

Rodriguez-Carrasco is being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until he can be transported to a federal prison.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Daniel C. Tvedt and investigated by the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Enforcement and Removal Operations.
