A Honduran illegal alien was sentenced in federal court in December to 21 years in federal prison for being unlawfully in the United States after having been previously removed.
According to court documents, on January 1, 2023, the Robertsdale Police Department arrested Marlon Pineda-Enamorado for arson, first-degree.
Pineda-Enamorado reportedly set his home on fire and barricaded his six roommates inside on January 1, 2023. He was back in the country illegally after being deported in 2012, according to Mobile's Fox 10 News.
The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Enforcement and Removal Operations of Mobile, was notified of Pienda's arrest. ICE officers investigated and determined that Pineda had been previously removed from the United States on two occasions. ICE verified that Pineda did not have any lawful authority to be voluntarily present in the United States when he was arrested by the Robertsdale Police Department for arson-related charges. Pineda was separately convicted in state court for arson first-degree, and on November 11, 2024, Pineda was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment by the Baldwin County Circuit Court.
Upon release from imprisonment, Pineda will be delivered to a duly authorized immigration official for deportation proceedings.
