BECKLEY, W.Va. (WVVA) – A Honduran man has been sentenced after pleading guilty to an immigration crime in federal court.
Nolvin Alfredo-Diaz, 42, was arrested in August 2024 in Lewisburg by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Beckley, Alfredo-Diaz had been removed from the United State twice before after entering illegally, once in 2006 and again in 2010, both after drug-related convictions.
Alfredo-Diaz admitted he was a citizen of Honduras and was once again in the United State illegally.
He is scheduled to be sentenced on May 29 and faces up to 10 years in jail and be subject to deportation at the conclusion of any sentence.
“This federal criminal case underscores our office’s commitment to pursuing illegal reentry cases, especially in circumstances where the offender has a criminal history,” said United States Attorney Will Thompson. “Here, Mr. Diaz has two felony convictions for drug offenses and has been removed from the United States on multiple occasions. This will be Mr. Diaz’s third felony conviction. Our office will diligently and aggressively pursue these types of immigration cases.”
Thompson made the announcement and commended the investigative work of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
United States Magistrate Judge Omar J. Aboulhosn presided over the hearing. Assistant United States Attorney Erik S. Goes is prosecuting the case.
