Man Deported Six Times Sentenced to 108 Months in Prison for Illegal Reentry
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Kansas announced that Ysidoro Martinez-Arguello, 57, a citizen of Mexico who has been deported six times, was sentenced to 108 months, or nine years, in prison for returning to the United States without permission.
According to court documents, Martinez-Arguello pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful reentry after deportation. He was deported from the United States three times in 2010 and again in 2015, 2016, and 2023, six times in total.
The documents also show that Martinez-Arguello had been convicted and incarcerated seven times on charges related to driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs between 1993 and 2018.
Martinez-Arguello came to the attention of law enforcement after being involved in a fatality traffic accident in Manhattan, Kansas, in August 2025, which did not involve alcohol or drugs.
U.S. Attorney Ryan A. Kriegshauser said District Judge Tony Mattivi stated at sentencing that more lenient sentences have tried and failed for Martinez-Arguello, and that removal alone will not keep the public safe given his numerous re-entries and other crimes. He said illegal aliens who ignore U.S. laws and harm communities will be prosecuted before they are removed.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Duston Slinkard prosecuted the case.
