ALEXANDRIA, VA — A previously deported Honduran national was sentenced to two years in federal prison on Feb. 7 for illegally reentering the United States and failing to register as a sex offender, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced.
Eliseo Garcia-Gordillo, 43, had been arrested and removed from the U.S. three times before authorities apprehended him again in Prince William County on Oct. 8, 2024, following his most recent illegal reentry.
“Not only did Eliseo Garcia-Gordillo display a blatant disregard for our immigration laws, but he also sexually abused a minor victim in Virginia,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Washington, D.C. acting Field Office Director Patrick Divver. “Garcia-Gordillo has proven to be a significant threat to our Virginia neighborhoods.”
Garcia-Gordillo was convicted on June 17, 2019, in Prince William County of two counts of aggravated sexual battery of a victim under the age of 13. He was required to register as a sex offender for life and update his registration quarterly, which he failed to do.
