Illegal Alien Found Living in Adams Township Charged with Immigration Violation
Police discover the Honduras native after a traffic stop.
A Honduras native found in Adams Township has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Pittsburgh on a charge of re-entry into the United States after deportation, according to United States Attorney David J. Hickton.
The one-count indictment named Marcio Martinez-Bustamante, 31, as the sole defendant.
According to indictment, Martinez-Bustamante, an alien, was removed from the country by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Feb. 26, 2010 and Jan. 26, 2011.
Adams Police discovered Martinez-Bustamante was living in the area after officers pulled him over during a traffic stop March 9.
The law provides for a maximum total sentence of two years in prison, a fine of $250,000, or both. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed would be based upon the seriousness of the offense and the prior criminal history, if any, of the defendant.
Assistant United States Attorney Paul E. Hull is prosecuting this case on behalf of the government.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement conducted the investigation leading to the indictment in this case.
An indictment or information is an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

How about leaving the "illegals" alone, and harass somebody who deserves to be harassed?
How about looking for violent offenders, instead of somebody who simply wants to improve his family's standard of living?

Why don't you take a ride thru that trailer park? Maybe take them some food or something. You probably never knew that slum was in Cranberry. When these people follow this Countrys laws they will not be "illegals" anymore.

What are you talking about!!! Are YOU REALLY SERIOUS about these ILLEGAL criminal scum? Don't even go there Boffo!!! WE are NOW denying SERVICES to Senior AMERICAN CITIZENS in some areas of the Country (YOU KNOW, the U.S.A.) Seniors citizens are receiving REDUCED Social Security and Medicare thanks to provisions directed to give ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIENS MORE HEALTHCARE SERVICES. They do NOT belong here!!! THEY are STEALING from ALL AMERICANS. We have Americans being denied SERVICES thanks to GIVING goods and services to these ILLEGALS. Perhaps, Mexico should be more caring by providing citizenship to the (HA) Hondurans. Watch closely as Mexico would IMMEDIATLEY THROW them in JAIL and DEPORT THEM. Something that this Country is NOT DOING. American CITIZENS MUST BEAT the doors of Congress DOWN and DEMAND this. Thanks Daryl Metcalf for all of YOUR GOOD WORK on this. A great representative of the PEOPLE!!!

Agreed Giacomo. I have been trying to legally adopt a child from Honduras and so far it has taken 3 years and its not over yet.

You should try adopting a child from this country, unless like many, you're trying for a baby rather than an older kid, and can't get one here.

how about getting the illegals out of this country so we don't have to pay for their medical care and pay them unemployment or social security!

This is so sad. All of our ancestors came to this country looking for opportunity and a better chance for themselves and their children. This country now makes it almost nearly impossible for immigrant people to come to this country legally as so many of our great great grandparents did. The whole situation is highly racist and wrong. These poor people either end up in abusive and horrendously low-paying menial jobs or brought up on criminal charges like the case in this story. Can't we as a nation remember where we came from and learn from our ancestors who were given a "hand up" not a "hand out" when they stepped foot on American soil? We should be ashamed.

What do you mean these poor people my Grandparents came here from Italy the right way and became productive citizens and did what they were suppose too do to become a USA citizen. You don't know if they are terrorist cause they don't register and so yes the police and everyone else are doing what they are suppose to do and up hold the Law! This Country is not being racist it is watching out for it's people and making sure all is safe! If you want to come to the USA then do it the right way. Illegal people in this Country are people that are breaking the law and you have no idea what they are upto they very well maybe violent offenders and as far as I am concerned the law is written for a reason.
As for adopting a child I feel sorry that you have to go over seas we should be able to adopt in our own Country but that is another story but the child you get will have a better life good luck and prayers for it to come soon.

Trina, YOU are SO right!! Apprently Maddie HAS been brainwashed by either her Government position or perhaps her liberal schooling. People who have worked hard in this COUNTRY have been taken advantage of for many years with these criminal MOOCHERS. Keep in mind that there are American Citizens who have had criminal acts committed against them by these illegals. I saw three different families on a news program several month ago who were KILLED or INJURED by DRUNKEN ILLEGAL ALIENS and the U.S. Government did NOT IMPRISON them. They just deported them. Why are these criminal acts being committed against American with No JUSTICE for them??

Uh, my husband makes less after paying his dues to the government than most of these immigrants and works just as hard, if not harder... What about abusive and horrendously low paying menial jobs for American citizens?! I haven't had anyone feel sorry for us.

Wow. Some of us watch too much Fox News and are brainwashed by the conservative media who want us to buy into their corporate bullsh*t while they're busy literally STEALING our money! I highly doubt that immigrants who are working for a dollar an hour doing the most menial jobs that NONE of us legal citizens even want to think about doing are really the cause of all of our problems. You yinzer sheep are just as bad as all of those that followed Hitler, desperate, mean spirited, and looking for someone to blame! Look at Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, not your neighborhood illegal alien!

I can NOT comprehend the "FOG" of ignorance that some peopel allow themselves to fall into. YOU can believe anything that you want regarding ILLEGAL ALIEN CRIMINALS. That is YOUR PEROGATIVE but MOST people in this Country are NOW becoming aware of the MISTREATMENT of our fellow Americans and how these ILLEGAL ALIENS are NOTHING but MOOCHERS. As far as stealing our money is concerned, it may be good for you to check the statistics as part of my job is statistics. If these ILLEGAL OFFENDERS were not in this Country, the COST of all of the SERVICES given to them could be applied to a better wage for the MENIAL JOBS that you mention and PROVIDE AMERICAN CITIZENS JOBS. Check the statistics. It shows that IF the money spent on ILLEGALS for INCARCERATION, HOSPITAL CARE, FOOD CLOTHING and ETC. were directed to wages for those menial jobs that you mention, Americans would make an EXCELLENT WAGE. LET US NOT FORGET that AMERICAN CITIZEN RECEIVE NO BENEFIT from these CRIMINALS being here There is NO common sense AMONGST LIBERALS. They all seem to lack the thought process. Let's not mention the diseases that these ILLEGALS bring with them, i.e. tuberculosis and etc. Let us NOT MENTION that within 23 years these ILLEGALS (WHO DO NOT BELONG here) will be CONTROLLING EVERY ASPECT of our government.. All AMERICAN CITIZENS have are the CRIME and the COST of these MOOCHERS. NOTHING FOR US at all. NO THANKS
