Citizen of Honduras Pleads Guilty to Reentering U.S. after Being Deported

John H. Durham, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, announced that CARLOS ANARIBA, also known as Marvin Guillen, 27, a citizen of Honduras last residing in Stamford, pleaded guilty today before U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Alker Meyer in New Haven to one count of reentry of a removed alien.

According to court documents and statements made in court, in November 2008, ANARIBA, using the name Marvin Guillen, was charged in Connecticut Superior Court in Stamford with assault, weapons, breach of peace and forgery offenses.  After ANARIBA posted bond, he was released to the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and, in March 2009, was deported from the U.S. to Honduras.

ANARIBA subsequently returned to the U.S.

In October 2014, ANARIBA, using his true name, was arrested by Stamford Police for a burglary offense.  In February 2016, he was arrested by Stamford Police on larceny charges.

A biometric match connected the three criminal cases and confirmed that ANARIBA and Guillen are the same individual.  ANARIBA resolved all three cases and, in October 2016, was sentenced in state court to 25 months of incarceration.

Judge Meyer scheduled sentencing for February 13, 2018, at which time ANARIBA faces a maximum term of imprisonment of two years.  He is detained pending sentencing.

This investigation was conducted by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Enforcement and Removal Operations.  The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Deborah R. Slater.
