BOSTON — A 29-year-old Salvadoran man from Lynn pleaded guilty in federal court Wednesday to illegally reentering the United States after deportation, the US Attorney’s office said.
Inmar Samuel Aguiluz-Palacios pleaded guilty to one count of illegal reentry. He was charged on Feb. 3, 2022.
According to court documents, Aguiluz-Palacios was deported on three previous occasions, in May 2004, June 2015 and December 2015, the U.S. Attorney’s office said.
Sometime after his 2015 deportation, Aguiluz-Palacios illegally returned to the United States. On Aug. 15, 2021, Aguiluz-Palacios was arrested in Lynn for assault with a dangerous weapon, prosecutors said.
In January 2022, Aguiluz-Palacios was convicted of assault and sentenced to nine months in state prison, prosecutors said.
The charge of illegal reentry provides for a sentence of up to 20 years in prison, up to three years of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000. Aguiluz-Palacios will be subject to deportation proceedings upon completion of his sentence.
His sentencing has been scheduled for July 19.
