Six foreign nationals — five Mexican and one Guatemalan — were sentenced in the Northern District of Oklahoma for Unlawful Reentry of a Removed Alien, with sentences ranging from 8 to 57 months in federal prison. Among them, Julio Martinez-Perez, 36, received 57 months, the longest sentence, having previously been deported in 2016 after a federal conviction for Conspiracy to Distribute Heroin.
