Mexican National Sentenced to Time Served For Immigration Offense

HAMMOND - Luis Alfredo Meneses-Silva, 35 years old, of Mexico, was sentenced by United States District Court Judge Philip P. Simon after pleading guilty to felony reentry of removed alien, announced United States Attorney Adam L. Mildred.

Luis Alfredo Meneses-Silva was sentenced to time served followed by 1 year of supervised release, and a $100 Special Assessment. The supervised release term will go into effect if Meneses-Silva remains in, or returns to, the United States within that period following expected removal proceedings.

"The Defendant does not believe our nation's laws apply to him and has been previously removed twice from the United States in 2017. He also has prior convictions for public intoxication and interference with official acts. He needs to return home and not violate our nation's borders again," said U.S. Attorney Adam Mildred.

This case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Nadia Wardrip.
