Former gang member sentenced to time served expected to be deported
An undocumented immigrant who had previously been deported is expected to be deported again after being caught after hours in a Bushwick park.
Alejandro Luna, a Puebla, Mexico native, was stopped by two NYPD officers in a Bushwick playground on Jan. 10 and was arrested for walking through the area after hours. On Monday, he was sentenced to four months time served for illegal re-entry to the U.S. and is expected to be deported.
“He was arrested for a crime that only poor people get arrested for,” Luna’s attorney, Len Kamdang said in Brooklyn federal court. Kamdang then assured Judge Kiyo Matsumoto that Luna is a “good hombre.”
