Illegal alien sentenced to prison for illegal re-entry

A Mexican national who illegally re-entered the country nearly a year ago and was found in the desert outside of Yuma [Arizona] has been sentenced to more than eight years in prison.

Adolfo Estrella-Yuan, 52, of Sonora, Mexico, was sentenced Monday in Phoenix by U.S. District Judge Roslyn O. Silver to 101 months in prison.

Estrella-Yuan was found guilty of illegal re-entry after prior removal by a federal jury in Phoenix on Feb. 3 and was sentenced to a term of 80-months for his crime.

However, Estrella-Yuan had also been serving a term of supervised release related to a 1999 Southern District of Illinois illegal re-entry conviction, and was found in violation of that supervised release term. He received a sentence of 21 months to be served consecutive to his 80 month sentence.

Estrella-Yuan had been deported from the United States at least four times: August 1980, November 1990, December 1991 and January 2007.

He also has had a significant and serious criminal history that included, among other offenses, three immigration-related convictions — the last of which resulted in a 77-month sentence — and two convictions related to the molestation of young children.

Silva said she took Estrella-Yuan’s criminal history in consideration while imposing his sentence.
