Oh the irony! This just in ... Lazaro Lopez-Cruz was sentenced to 77 months in prison for illegal re-entry, United States Attorney Catherine Hanaway announced today.

According to a press release, Lopez-Cruz was arrested by the Mexico Police Department in Mexico, Mo. on a local charge of assault and robbery on February 25, 2008.

Lopez-Cruz, 27, hails from Oaxala, Mexico, and previously pled guilty to illegally re-entry and was deported to Mexico (the country). He will once again be deported to Mexico (the country) at the conclusion of this sentence.
