ICE still needs a good house cleaning.
East Texas, here. Eyes on.
FROM THE PRESS RELEASE:
These efforts resulted in successful prosecutions in both Mexico and the United States, including U.S. federal prosecutions of more than 170 defendants in multiple cases in Georgia, New York, Florida, and Texas since 2009, as well as numerous Mexican federal and state prosecutions of associated sex traffickers.
Severiano Martinez-Rojas, 53, of Mexico, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Edward R. Korman to 24 years, five months in prison for his role in the sex trafficking of three victims. Defendant Severiano Martinez-Rojas was indicted in May 2013 but had remained a fugitive until his arrest in Mexico in November 2015 as part of a coordinated U.S.-Mexico bilateral enforcement action. The action also resulted in the arrests of seven other defendants in a related Eastern District of New York case. Martinez-Rojas was also charged, convicted, and sentenced in that case.
Martinez-Rojas, and co-defendants Arturo Rojas-Coyotl and Odilon Martinez-Rojas, previously pleaded guilty to sex trafficking and were sentenced to 16 years and 21 years and 10 months in prison, respectively. Both defendants were also ordered to pay $180,000 in restitution to the victims. A third co-defendant, Daniel Garcia-Tepal, pleaded guilty to alien harboring and received a sentence of time served.
