What Happens to Deported Illegal Aliens Who Come Back?


Matt Obrien
Sergio Jose Martinez is an illegal alien from Mexico. He viciously raped two women in Portland, Oregon, this past July. One of the victims was 65 years old. When the court sentenced him to 31 to 35 years of jail time, he reportedly told observers in the courtroom that he would see them in hell.Martinez sounds like the type of guy who should be deported after serving his sentence. There’s only one problem. He already has been, at least 20 times. How can that happen? Sadly it’s all too common. Here’s the problem:
- The U.S. Immigration Court enters deportation orders against illegal aliens and other immigration violators following an immigration hearing.
- U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is responsible for physically removing illegal aliens and other immigration violators from the United States.
- When ICE encounters deportees who are subject to a final order of removal and who have unlawfully returned to the United States, it can usually re-deport them without any additional hearings.
