A Mexican illegal alien who has been living in the U.S. for 28 years was sentenced to nine months in jail for his third DUI in Virginia. Mario Santos-Ochoa, 44, was sentenced to nine months in jail on Monday, July 30 and immigration authorities placed a detainer on him for deportation…again.
Santos-Ochoa was deported five times between September 1997 and September 2014. Santos-Ochoa was convicted in federal court in Texas of “re-entering the U.S. after being deported — in 2009, 2011 and 2012 — and sentenced to seven months, 180 days and 15 months, respectively, in federal prison,” court documents stated.
Once again “family separation” is being claimed for leniency because Santos-Ochoa has four children, ages 9 to 21 years old, who were all born in the U.S.
